See my Pi-Hole
Info on my Pi-Hole is consolidated on this page.
Links to sites i used for this project
- raspberrypi.org
- win32diskimager
- pi-hole @ github
- Remote access to the RPi using putty for Windows.
What i did...
- Copied 2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie.img to the micro-sd card, using win32diskimager.
- After first boot, i configured the WiPi USB interface so it would connect to my Wireless network. I did this from the GUI.
- The i opened a Terminal window on top of the GUI. This might put unnessesary strain on the RPi, but for now it doesn't matter :-)
- Then i followed Jacob Salmela's guide: "Setting It Up (The Easy Way)"
The DHCP server running on my ISP provided SHOH Router/Wireless Accesspoint cannot be disabled or changed in it's settings, so i will have to manually point my devices to the PiHole DNS server... :-/ If IPv6 is annoying you on the WIndows OS disable it correctly !
chronometer.sh for putty
This is my version of the chronometer.sh script. /usr/share/figlet does not contain small font and i would like to rearrange the stuff a tiny bit.

Minibian Pi-hole??
Distro is avilable at http://minibianpi.wordpress.com/
My notes
while trying to get this up and running...
- / have 223Mb free space after install on a 1 gig SD... that is sufficient to install pi-hole but why let parts of the 1 gig SD lay waste unused ?? let's try to expand the partition to fully utilize 1 Gb SD card.
- Okay - that worked great. 377 Mb is now avilable on the / mountpoint, after this step.
- Now it's time to apt-get -y update and then apt-get -y upgrade. 59% of space is in use on the / mountpoint, after this step.
- init 6
Missing packages:
- apt-get -y install curl (After this operation, 1,918 kB of additional disk space will be used.)
- apt-get -y install sudo (After this operation, 2,337 kB of additional disk space will be used.)
- apt-get -y install whiptail (After this operation, 437 kB of additional disk space will be used.)
- apt-get -y install unzip (After this operation, 394 kB of additional disk space will be used.)
Aukay... now i will just try to use the easy pi-hole install curl -L install.pi-hole.net | bash :-P
