The pi-hole regex extension documentation is filled with a ton of excellent information. However, it doesn't seem to mention which config file you should put your regexes in or how to activate the regex configuration.

Additional context

If I 'grep -r' the pi-hole source code, it seems the regex file needs to be '${piholeDir}/regex.list' .

Apologies in advance if I missed something. I spent a lot of time reading the tutorial and forums but couldn't find it anywhere else.

Since v5.0 Pi-hole switched to the gravity.db.
https://docs.pi-hole.net/database/gravity/

Regex.list is outdated and should not be used anymore. Content of this file is only considered when upgrading from pre-v5.0 and moved into the database.

You can manually inject regex via SQL or via the web inteface.

Gravity and database are mentioned twice on https://docs.pi-hole.net/regex/overview/
