Post-Install

+ +

Making your network take advantage of Pi-hole

+

Once the installer has been run, you will need to configure your router to have DHCP clients use Pi-hole as their DNS server which ensures all devices connected to your network will have content blocked without any further intervention.

+

If your router does not support setting the DNS server, you can use Pi-hole's built-in DHCP server; just be sure to disable DHCP on your router first (if it has that feature available).

+

As a last resort, you can manually set each device to use Pi-hole as its DNS server.

+

Making your Pi-hole host use Pi-hole

+

Pi-hole will not be used by the host automatically after installation. To have the host resolve through Pi-hole and your configured blocking lists, you can make the host use Pi-hole as upstream DNS server:

+
+

Warning

+

If your Pi-hole host is using Pi-hole as upstream DNS server and Pi-hole fails, your host loses DNS resolution. This can prevent successful repair attempts, e.g. by pihole -r as it needs a working internet connection.

+
+

If your OS uses dhcpcd for network configuration, you can add to your /etc/dhcpcd.conf

+
static domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1
+
+

Adding your local user to the 'pihole' group

+

Pi-hole v6 uses a new API for authentication. All CLI commands use this API instead of e.g. direct database manipulation. If a password is set for API access, the CLI commands also need to authenticate. To avoid entering the password everytime on CLI, Pi-hole allows users which are members of the 'pihole' group to authenticate without manually entering the password (this can be disabled by setting webserver.api.cli_pw to false.) +To add your local user to the 'pihole' group use the following command

+

For Debian/Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi OS/Armbian/Fedora/CentOS

+
sudo usermod -aG pihole $USER
+
+

For Alpine

+
sudo addgroup pihole $USER
