Edit /etc/pihole/local.list through the web interface

#1

I’ve been creating domains for my local devices with /etc/pihole/local.list. I’d like to edit that through the web interface.

Please expand on this. You can already do something similar with the Pi-hole DHCP server (define host names).

#3

A list of hosts. I use my router for DHCP. It doesn’t seem to allow me to set a DHCP host.

Hi, without using pi-hole dhcp server it would be cool to add local host names in /etc/pihole/local.list but this file is erased and re-written on each run of pihole -g, i.e. at least once per week.

#5

Edit /etc/hosts instead.

#6

/etc/hosts is local to my pi hole host. I need a name known on my local network

#7

You can edit Pi-hole’s hosts file and the records will be used with Dnsmasq.

It works. Thank you !
