Did the wget work? Doesn't sound like it.
Seems to
I did this cmd : cd;wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bakman2/dcfe3fdfd02c9ff8326bbf35da539f27/raw/0c59b7b62b0d351276895744e6d0750c8baf5be5/gistfile1.txt
and got in bottom lines :

It saves it as .1 thus the gistfile1.txt exists.
Check the directory where you do the mv from.
Yes I noticed that but even when i modify (mv gistfile1.txt.1 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/S99pihole.sh)
I get :
mv: cannot move ‘gistfile1.txt.1’ to ‘/usr/local/etc/rc.d/S99pihole.sh’: No such file or directory
Check the file; permissions, owner.
Ok got it working by editing S99pihole.sh with vi
trying to install on DS215j but im stuck at step
mount /proc
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
error:
mount /proc
mount: cant find /proc in /etc/fstav

its working now thank you a lot!!!!!
what if i update my NAS? should i do intallation again? thanks!
I've installed Pi-Hole on my Synology DS1813+ with DSM 6.1.4-15217.
It seems to work fine. No ads.
But my dashboard stays empty:
How can i figure out what's going wrong?
I've tried curl http://synology-ip:port/admin/api.php?overTimeData10mins?, which outputs nothing.
Yet, i do not see ads, which suggests it's working.
After running pihole -d i do see 2 queries + 2 blocked queries, 100% rating, nothing in the graph.
I'm also running OpenVPN, so maybe that interferes? I'll test some more.
Run pihole -t and see if you see any clients sending DNS requests.
Hi, thanks for the great writeup. Hopefully someone can help me. I just installed this on my synology server. I am able to access the web interface, but when I set pihole as my DNS server, I cannot get out to the internet. I tried using the pihole -t command and loading some webpages but don't even see any dns queries coming in.
The token for my debug log is 15ituhsmwb
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, thanks for the guide.
By using quoted command i get an error saying can't find folder /etc/locale.gen
Any suggestions?
Thanks
This post is old, but to have it answered: You need to stop the Synology DNS Server package prior installing pi-hole. Also, when you stop the Synology DNS-Server, make sure that your router knows some other DNS server in the meantime, like 8.8.8.8, so the install script can resolve the download commands. After installing, configure the router's DNS lookup to the address of your Synology once again.
