gravity-sync VS pihole-updatelists

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

I'm using this fork of the official pihole docker https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists. This docker image by default contains the block lists form https://firebog.net/, but only the safe ones that shouldn't affect web browsing which is what I've seen the past few days I've been running it.

I'm using https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to take care of that, recommended.

You configure black lists in pihole that block the pertinent domains. There are even adding you can install that will keep the black lists updated (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists)

Hello fellow unRAIDERs. I’ve got Pihole up and running no issues. I’ve seen suggestions for “The Firebog” (https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php) as extra URL’s to add to Pihole. One was wondering general consensus are people doing and like the results? And for the unRAID specific question I did a quick search for the “pihole-updatelists” (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists) in the apps section so wondering if anyone has been able to automate this process on their unRAID server. It seems to me initial look like that would be almost necessary to not create lots of extra work. Thanks!

I had to look back at my configuration. I actually build a container with Unbound and it uses https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to auto update block lists with firebog.net lists.

Especially if you use something like jacklul/pihole-updatelists
