Pihole config

This is my personal configuration, including:

• WALLY3K'S big blocklist collection - I'm using the non-crossed list
• Whitelist - originally taken from here with a few addition of my own.

I'm running pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and a Mikrotik hAP ac, setting pi-hole as the upstream DNS provider for the Mikrotik.

I've setup the pihole_conf.sh script to be running every hour as a cronjob.

Setup cron

This is just a personal preference, it's way easier for me rather than setup some redundant bootstrapping tool, thus involve manual steps. I'm also assuming that all permissions (i.e. to /var/log) already setup the way you like to.

1. Clone the repo, assuming to /opt/pihole_config: git clone https://github.com/amitizle/pihole_config.git opt/pihole_config.
2. Setup the cronjob (using crontab -e): 0 */1 * * * bash -c "cd /opt/pihole_config && git pull && ./pihole_conf.sh &>> /var/log/pihole_config.log"

Configuration / environment variables

Here's a list of some environment variables you can setup in order to customize your experience using this script. All variables have got sane defaults so no need to change those usually.

NOTE: The Whitelist file is parsed at the moment with the following rules:

• Every line starts with # is treated as a comment.
• Empty lines are ignored.
• Every line can only contain one domain.
