No display on the e-paper since the last Pi-hole update

[Falconcrest]

After the last update of Pihole/adminLTE, the display on the e-paper no longer works. The same problem existed with a PiTFT and PiOLED display. The solution was communicated to me at https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE/issues/2467 and consisted in the adaptation of api_url = 'http://localhost/admin/api.php?summary&auth=abcdef123456789'.

Unfortunately this doesn't work if I enter it in the init.py among
def update(): url = "http://127.0.0.1:{}/admin/api.php".format(PIHOLE_PORT) r = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(url))

How should the adjustment be correct?

[Falconcrest]

Dear developer, do you see a way to adapt your script so that it works again with the current Pi-hole version?

This attempt by @rdwebdesign was not the solution yet.

• around line 35, add PIHOLE_APITOKEN:

  PIHOLE_PORT = 80
  PIHOLE_APITOKEN = "abcdef123456789"

• Inside the update() function, add ?summaryRaw&auth={} to the URL and add PIHOLE_APITOKEN to .format()

  def update():
    url = "http://127.0.0.1:{}/admin/api.php?summaryRaw&auth={}".format(PIHOLE_PORT, PIHOLE_APITOKEN)
    r = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(url))

I have now entered everything as described, unfortunately I get the following error message:

pi@alpenblick:~/pihole-dashboard/pihole_dashboard $ python3 __init__.py
   File "/home/pi/pihole-dashboard/pihole_dashboard/__init__.py", line 86
     try:
         ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

At the moment I still have to run pihole without a password for pihole-dasboard to work, which isn't great.

I followed the installation instructions as normal and received the same error as part of this issue. I just stuffed the raw token in there where 123abc is instead of using a variable. I'm not a programmer so I didn't want to tempt fate by making it more complex than it needed to be.

url = "http://127.0.0.1:{}/admin/api.php?summaryRaw&auth=123abc".format(PIHOLE_PORT)

Pihole FTL version: v5.22 Hardware: Raspberry Pi Zero W Hat: Waveshare 2.13 v2.1

Thanks for your tip, I will try it soon and give feedback if it worked for me too.

this works can confirm and thank you for providing the solution

Should be fixed with configuration parameters (IP, API Key) added in #11.
