Ad Blocking - activation of Custom blocklist

[whi4]

Hi,
I would like to setup a Custom blocklist but the Enable Custom blocklist radio-switch keeps deactivating itself.
I am using 3.2.9 still and wonder if this fixed in the next version.

What I would like to do is replace another machine running Pi-hole with a RaspAP machine. I think Pi-hole allows several block-lists to be specified. I am not sure how to check which block-list is selected in RaspAP.

Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi Robert. If the custom blocklist radio switch is deactivating itself, this is probably a bug. I'll create a new issue to track this. A fix will be available in the next release. Many thanks for bringing this up.

Resolved in #1825 and available in the latest release.

Thanks for fixing this problem. I have used the same upgrade command as last time but get this error: ``` RaspAP Install: Cloning latest files from GitHub Cloning into '/tmp/raspap-webgui'... remote: Write access to repository not granted. fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-insiders/': The requested URL returned error: 403 fatal: cannot change to '/tmp/raspap-webgui': No such file or directory [ ✘ error ] Unable to download files from GitHub The installer cannot continue. ``` I seem to making this harder than it should be. Sorry to bug you, but what should I do next? I am off on a trip on Friday and would like to use the ad block feature. If not, then trusty v3.2.9 will come along... Thanks for any help you can provide Kind regards Robert

@whi4 this has been asked (and answered) many times. Please see https://github.com/orgs/RaspAP/discussions/297

Thanks for the quick reply, but I think my wording is different. The link talks about the first command that does not include name and token. I have done that: ``` [snip] ``` ``` remote: Write access to repository not granted. fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/RaspAP/raspap-insiders/': The requested URL returned error: 403 fatal: cannot change to '/tmp/raspap-webgui': No such file or directory [ ✘ error ] Unable to download files from GitHub The installer cannot continue. ```

@whi4 a gentle reminder that you are replying in a public discussion. As such, please don't share your personal token, which acts like a password.

the error "Write access to repository not granted" indicates that you have created a fine-grained token. Per the docs:

Be sure to create a "classic" personal access token, rather than a fine-grained one. The latter has resulted in errors when cloning the private GitHub repository. Before invoking the Quick installer to perform an upgrade or new Insiders install, it's recommended to verify your token using the method described below.

Thanks for the info. (my personal info is safe!) I did use the very same command to successfully upgrade to v3.3.3. The upgrade to v3.3.4 did not go as planned so I will obviously need to create a new classic token. I am not a power user of git but I kind of expected things to work the same twice. Thanks again, Ropbert

So to finish this up, my old classic token had “lost” its scope (the authority for repo had been lost). I regenerated my token (for security) then added repo and upgraded it. Now I have successfully upgraded to v3.3.4. I chose not to include the BBR features as they did not assist me when I tested v3.3.3. The Dashboard Status panel looks great on ios safari and macos safari but the graphics are jumbled on macos firefox. The Dashboard Data usage screen is completely empty, unlike the Dashboard data usage graph in v3.2.9. The Ad blocking displays look great now, thanks for that! Robert
