I installed Pi-hole successfully but I’m enabling hotspot, so I got this error:

FTL failed to start due to failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use (by dnsmasq)

When I kill dnsmasq, Pi-hole works fine, but I’m not now able to enable hotspot, I get:

dnsmasq[22153]: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use

Is there a way to use Pi-hole and hotspot at the same time in Ubuntu?
