hi there,
as i use pihole now for some months and i am happy with it,
i would like to bring in ideas for my better usage..
a) a possibility to save / export the "list of blocklists"
my list of all imported blocklists wants to be saved somewhere.
b) a possibility to have smthng like the blocklists, but for white-listing
as you can import additional blocklists to the standard-implemented, why isnt there any option to do the same with a / many whitelists ?
and maybe an option to save my "list of imported whitelists"..
those lists would not need any standard-installed lists (like the blocklists) - but you could then export those standard-whitelisted entries to a single standard-whitelist.. as there are entries in the whitelist..
c) an option to save the logs in RAM instead on SD-Card..
yes, any reboot may kill the logs, but the sd-card usage would go down massively for anyone not needing all the logs saved or is only live-logging..
d)
that may/is not be a feature-request,
i need to find a solution for sd-card-backup that does not need to remove my sd-card (i expect at least stopping of several services during the backup)
i can provide a drive of my PC (winX) or my NAS (synology) but have not found any good idea yet..
Your current list of "blocklists" is located at: /etc/pihole/adlists.list
You can save this file and restore it when needed. after that you'd have to run a pihole -g to update local list.
Both whitelist and blacklist "lists" are located under /etc/pihole/whitelist.txt and /etc/pihole/blacklist.txt
If you're missing the files, that means that no whitelist or blacklist entries have been saved.
The newest version (in the works - currently in Beta ) of Pi-hole addresses that problem.
You can read this guide too on how to move the log file destination:
Due to the nature of file system access required for this type of operation, you'd have to remove the SD card and backup it in another device.
a) compared to how a external blocklist is imported, that way is more complicated and not possible over web-ui.
b) i talk about a possibility for white-lists like blOcklists, your answer is about blAcklists and whitelists..
so where can i import some external whitelists from internet (if there were some / selfmade) ?
to import some whitelists like blocklists,
i dont have a new word for that kind of collection as you found with blacklist/blocklist..
maybe you invent one.
