Keep 2 PiHole synced

Primary LanguageShell

Pihole sync with SCP

Introduction

This script is meant to keep 2 PiHole instances in sync. One node is designated as the master and the other node is the slave. This is a fork from gadkarisid pihole-sync repo. I just hacked it in an ugly way. But works for me :).

All maintenance (adding blocklists, adding entries to whitelist/blacklist/regex) should be done on the master node. The master node will upload those files connects to the Backup PiHole with scp Privat/Public key combination.
The slave node will check the uploaded files and sync them if necceccary.

Usage

  • create a ssh key pair on the master PiHole and upload the public key to the slave PiHole
  • Copy pihole_sync.sh to the folder of your choice on both PiHole nodes.
  • Update the options in the configuration section.
  • Run script as pi user on the master PiHole
  • Run script as sudo user on the slave PiHole (bocklist owned by root)
  • create cronjob on Master as pi user
  • create cronjob on Slave as root user
