For Pi-hole in Docker installations
- First, make sure to clone the repository into a location that is accessible by your Pi-hole Docker' container, i.e. do a
git clone https://github.com/Freekers/whitelist.gitin one of your volume mounts. - Next, make sure to make the script executable using
sudo chmod +x whitelist.sh - Finally, setup a cronjob using
crontab -eand add the following line:
0 0 * * * docker exec -d pihole '/opt/whitelist/scripts/whitelist.sh'
This will sync your whitelist with the one from the repository every day at midnight. Make sure to adjust the command to reflect your setup, i.e. change the container name and path to the script.
For native/normal Pi-hole installations
git clone https://github.com/anudeepND/whitelist.git
cd whitelist/scripts
sudo chmod +x whitelist.sh
sudo ./whitelist.sh
Note: You don't have to clone the repo every time you want to update whitelist file. Navigate to whitelist/scripts and run the script again sudo ./whitelist.sh
It's recommended to setup a cronjob to keep your whitelist in sync with the one from the repository. To do so, run crontab -e and add the following line: 0 0 * * * '/opt/whitelist/scripts/whitelist.sh'
This will sync your whitelist with the one from the repository every day at midnight. Make sure to adjust the path to where you cloned the script.
