Automated Install

Designed For Raspberry Pi A+, B, B+, 2, 3B, and Zero (with an Ethernet/Wi-Fi adapter) Works on most Debian and CentOS/RHEL based distributions!

Install Raspbian
Run the command below (downloads this script in case you want to read over it first!)

`curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash`

Alternative Semi-Automated install

wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
cat basic-install.sh | bash

If you wish to read over the script before running it, then after the wget command, run nano basic-install.sh to open the file in a text viewer.

Once installed, configure your router to have DHCP clients use the Pi as their DNS server and then any device that connects to your network will have ads blocked without any further configuration. Alternatively, you can manually set each device to use the Raspberry Pi as its DNS server.

Technical Details

The Pi-hole is an advertising-aware DNS/Web server. If an ad domain is queried, a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement. You can also replace ads with any image you want since it is just a simple Webpage taking place of the ads.

Other Operating Systems

This script will work for other UNIX-like systems with some slight modifications. As long as you can install dnsmasq and a Webserver, it should work OK. The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.

Gravity

The gravity.sh does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of over 1.6 million entries (if you decide to use the mahakala list). This script is controlled by the pihole command. Please run pihole -h to see what commands can be run via pihole.

Web Interface

The Web interface will be installed automatically so you can view stats and change settings. You can find it at:

http://192.168.1.x/admin/index.php or http://pi.hole/admin

Whitelist and blacklist

Domains can be whitelisted and blacklisted using either the web interface or the command line. See the wiki page for more details

API

A basic read-only API can be accessed at /admin/api.php. It returns the following JSON:

{
    "domains_being_blocked": "136708",
    "dns_queries_today": "18108",
    "ads_blocked_today": "14648",
    "ads_percentage_today": "80.89"
}

The same output can be achieved on the CLI by running chronometer.sh -j

Real-time Statistics

You can view real-time stats via ssh or on an 2.8" LCD screen. This is accomplished via chronometer.sh.
