Pi-hole FTL v6.2.2 Released
Following on from our previous post, we have now released FTL v6.2.2, which contains fixes for some underlying bugs in dnsmasq that should now resolve the majority of cases where we have seen crashes. We have also downgraded the embedded version of SQLite from 3.50.0, as this was also causing issues.
Full details and converation around the issues can be found in pi-hole/FTL#2473
If you had switched to FTL v6.1 following the previous post, you may now switch back the released version pihole checkout ftl master should get you to v6.2.2
There are still a couple of outliers (pi-hole/FTL#2494, and pi-hole/FTL#2496) – though there is a fix on the FTL branch fix/filter_servers which should resolve those, though it is pending feedback. If you find that 6.2.2 still crashes for you, you are invited to try above branch with pihole checkout ftl fix/filter_servers and provide feedback on the above mentioned issues, or via our Discourse forum.
