FTL on XBian Pi

General
15

I installed a fresh copy of XBian, the Debian Stretch test version, and it seems only these steps are needed to get Pi-Hole running ontop of XBian.
At first I tried running it on a Pi B but noticed it OOMing allot.
Now I am trying it out on a Pi B+ with only one client, my own main PC.
The old B switched place and is now doing dedicated Pi-Holing for my network.
I tried browsing to the admin page with the "Web Viewer" Kodi add on but was missing lots of details probably because of missing javascript :neutral_face:

$ cat /etc/debian_version
9.0

$ uname -r -m
4.9.20+ armv6l

  1. Stop Kodi(former XBMC):
    sudo stop xbmc

  2. Configure a static IP address using below one because XBian is not using "/etc/dhcpcd.conf":
    *Might need a reboot so after, stop Kodi again(step 1) to continue.
    sudo xbian-config

  3. Create missing symlink needed by the pihole-FTL daemon:
    sudo ln -s /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3

  4. Install curl:
    sudo apt install curl

  5. Run the Pi-Hole installer:
    curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

  6. Have the "pihole-FTL" daemon start at boot as XBian uses "Upstart" as init:
    sudo update-rc.d pihole-FTL defaults

  7. Reboot:
    sudo reboot
