AdminLTE provides a web UI that can be used to monitor parts of what Pi-hole

does. It’s been done with PHP, and subsequently requires PHP to work.

​

There is two subpackages that have some ready configuration for convenience:

​

pihole-admin-lte-config-php-fpm

-------------------------------

​

pihole-admin-lte-config-php-fpm contains configuration file for php-fpm to

handle PHP processes that can be used to run AdminLTE. nginx config is

configured to use php-fpm, and this config supplements that config.

​

By default, php-fpm has no configuration. To use supplied template, copy it:

​

# cd /etc/php7/fpm

# cp php-fpm.conf.default php-fpm.conf

# cd php-fpm.d

# cp pihole-admin-lte.conf.in pihole-admin-lte.conf

​

Nginx by default uses nginx user and group to run itself. If that user can’t

use php-fpm’s socket, nginx won’t be able to operate PHP sites. Supplied

config by default uses nginx user, but if you use some other user or httpd,

you need to modify pihole-admin-lte.conf to contain correct user.

​

Then you can start (and enable) php-fpm:

​

# systemctl start php-fpm

# systemctl status php-fpm # Verify that there is no errors

# systemctl enable php-fpm

​

pihole-admin-lte-config-nginx

-----------------------------

​

The config included in pihole-admin-lte-config-nginx is kind of base config

which you need to adjust to your setup. Please see adminlte.conf.in in the

package for more information.
