### Binary architecture

Core part of Pi-hole is the FTL binary which does all the DNS handling. It's provided pre-build for the following architectures

- x86_64 (amd64 and i686)
- armv6
- armv7
- armv8 (aarch64)
- riscv64

If you need another architecture, you need to compile [FTL from source](../ftldns/compile.md). To ease installation/upgrading you can set the
environment variable `PIHOLE_SKIP_FTL_CHECK = true` in the same way as `PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK` for an unsupported OS (see above). Note that you need to copy the self-build binary to `/usr/bin/pihole-FTL` before you run the installer the first time.


### IP Addressing

Pi-hole needs a static IP address to properly function (a DHCP reservation is just fine).
