Pi-hole needs a static IP address to properly function (a DHCP reservation is just fine).
As part of our install process, **we append some lines to `/etc/dhcpcd.conf` in order to statically assign an IP address**, so take note of this before installing.
Please be aware of this fact because it [may cause confusion](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/1713#issue-260746084). This is not the ideal situation for us to be in but, since a significant portion of our users are running Pi-hole on Raspbian - and because Pi-hole's roots began with the Raspberry Pi - it's a problem that is [difficult to get away from](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/1713#issuecomment-332317532).
Due to the complexity of different ways of setting an IP address across different systems, it's a slow process and [we need help](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/629). If you're willing to contribute, please let us know.
On systems that have `dhcpcd5` already installed (e.g Raspberry Pi OS) there is an option in the install process to append some lines to `/etc/dhcpcd.conf` in order to statically assign an IP address. This is an entirely optional step, and offered as a way to lower the barrier to entry for those that may not be familiar with linux systems, such as those first starting out on a Raspberry Pi.
