Installing Pi-Hole on OSMC is not recommended nor supported, as it installs packages which can break connman.

Hi, i ame not going to use it as an DHCP server, onley for DNS.

The problem you are having is with pihole. You’ll have to ask them for support.

There have been reports on the forum here as well of people who have tried pi-hole. It breaks dns and then your osmc will fail to update.

We should get in touch with the Pi-Hole guys to either resolve this, or to put a big warning in the script if it’s being run on OSMC.

It can be made to work — but it still makes some invasive changes
