Sync Local DNS and Lists on second pihole - latest way?
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.
- Have any idea ?
-
Two piholes and both with unbound?
As others have said both instances should be totally complete as the idea is if one goes offline you should still have another that functions exactly the same. I also run Gravity Sync in my environment, helps keep down the maintenance. When I whitelist a domain on one it syncs to the other within minutes, that kind of thing.
the github page has a really good walkthrough and explanation
-
Running PiHole on a second server
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

Using RPi for Pihole and remote access gateway
Run Pihole on both, if DNS goes down its painful. You can sync them with https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

Who else doesn’t work in IT? What are you struggling with today.
Hmm, per their GitHub page, "Starting in Gravity Sync 4, replication of static DHCP assignments is now supported." (Found here: https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/DHCP-Replication) -- But, as I stated before, I don't use PiHole for DHCP reservations so I can't comment on if it does or doesn't work.
-
What do you run your Pihole on?
They're separate DietPi installs with Gravity Sync to keep the lists synced, but they each maintain their own resolver (unbound) caches upstream, and all clients are configured for primary (Pihole) and secondary (Bihole) addresses, then a firewall rule on the router that forwards any traffic to port 53 (AKA DNS) to Pihole. They both feed metrics to a single host that gives me a custom dashboard. Secondary unit gets less traffic, so I also run NUT (Network UPS Tools) on it to control my APC UPS.

Homelab DNS?
Two pi holes with gravity sync? Then it wouldn't matter which one it hit https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync

Backup DNS if/when AdGuard container doesn't work
I decided to setup a 2 node replicated cluster with Pi-Hole using this excellent collection of scripts - https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync You can probably adopt it to use AdGuard since it has even simpler configuration than Pi-Hole. Here are some ideas how to do that here - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/573

🛡️4 Top Database Security Tools in 2024 🏆🔥
Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard® protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Might be possible to do using a VPN as long as you can get broadcast/multicast packets forwarded.
Tailscale unfortunately doesn't support it...yet?

A word of caution about Tailscale
It's a feature of the client, and that is open source: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale

Connecting several hundreds IoT (raspberry pi's) devices with a VPN
My plan is to set up an EC2 instance and host a VPN, considering options like Netmaker, OpenVPN, or Tailscale. The goal is to connect these devices to the VPN, enabling SSH access from any connected node. This method seems cost-effective(Considering I want to use 100s of devices and potentially 1000s) and straightforward, requiring a simple setup with a sudo apt command on the Raspberry Pi.

The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod
It's likely just `tailscale serve https / `.
https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/main/ipn/serve.g...
And they also support direct embedding:
https://tailscale.dev/blog/embedded-funnel
I think this is built on the wireguard-go + gvisor mashup, that allows you to do this with just Wireguard:
https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/tree/master/tun/ne...
One of my favorite applications of this is this little tool that turns Wireguard VPNs into SOCKS5 proxies (which you can selectively enable in your browser)
