pi-hole - syslog messages

Pi-hole is running fine on my RPI. However checking the syslog, I see a returning message every 10 seconds.

    The Citadel web service installed on your Raspberry Pi is trying to start the webcit-http.service and webcit-https.service but cant

    If you dont need it, just disable it

    sudo systemctl disable --now webcit-http.service
sudo systemctl disable --now webcit-https.service

    if you need it you could reinstall it https://www.citadel.org/installing.html
