gravity-sync VS pihole-cloudsync

OR I could implement https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync as it's last commit was a year ago but users still seem to be using it.

I run the split DHCP approach for years without issues. Having only one PiHole with DHCP Server doesn’t give you a fully redundant system. I don’t use Gravity Sync myself, but their wiki covers this case with examples: https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/DHCP-Replication

the github page has a really good walkthrough and explanation

I don't have anything add to your question. But I recommend installing gravity-sync if you're going to run two piholes. It will sync up DNS entries (among other things) automatically to the second pihole when you add a entry one of them. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

If you go the 2 pihole route, I strongly recommend Gravity-Synch. https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

Run Pihole on both, if DNS goes down its painful. You can sync them with https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

OR I could implement https://github.com/stevejenkins/pihole-cloudsync but this had the last commit 3 years ago so no idea if it works still

pihole-cloudsync is another fantastic option. I’ve been running it without issue syncing bidirectionally between 6 pinholes for nearly 5 years

Prior to now I’ve been using steve jenkins’ repo, which has been forked by other users to support docker based Pi-hole , however this isn’t working as consistently as I’d like (which could be my issue re setup), but as that repo has not seen changes for quite a while , it might be better to try the other first.

I use a similar thing, actually - https://github.com/stevejenkins/pihole-cloudsync I push the lists from my primary into github and then pull it from github to my secondary.

Don't forget to mention pihole cloudysnc https://github.com/stevejenkins/pihole-cloudsync

I was also thinking of using something like https://github.com/stevejenkins/pihole-cloudsync to sync up the blocklists so whatever I lists I change on mine will also reflect on theirs.

Just set this up with pihole-cloudsync an hour ago. It’s pretty straightforward, though relies on GitHub for cloud sync. You can also set it up to sync regularly unassisted.
