Updates to Pi Hole v6

[timtjtim]

Pi Hole v6 includes some significant changes, notably in how the web interface operates

It's unclear how much will project need to be changed - I'll use this discussion for some testing observations

Failing unit tests added for civetweb

[timtjtim]

Okay, and a PR open for Civitweb

civetweb/civetweb#1277

and a thread on Pi Hole Discourse

[timtjtim]

okay - all of that has been merged into civetweb, and civetweb updated in Pi Hole, so we can carry on here - who doesn't love these rabbit holes!

[timtjtim]

Ideally I want this to work for both v5 and v6 in the same codebase. I might back out of that and just say we need multiple branches with different versions - wouldn't be ideal.

Strong agree 🤞

TTOP

[timtjtim]

Probably need to use an app password rather than logging in as a full user, otherwise it will be very difficult to support TTOP setups.

[timtjtim]

supported out of the box basically

Environment variables

[timtjtim]

Can the API path be changed? I expect we still want to support custom paths anyway in case someone is using e.g. a reverse proxy.

Selecting what to export

actually it's what to import, but yes - easy to support
