Reload blacklist & whitelist but not gravity?

notDavid · February 6, 2019, 9:32am

Hi there,

when i externally change the blacklist.txt or whitelist.txt (via a git pull in a crontab), is there a way to tell pi-hole to reload these 2 without downloading & refreshing the entire gravity.list?

Or do i just need to pihole -g every time?

Thanks.

When you update gravity, only the lists that have changed are downloaded. For unchanged lists, a local copy is used.

If you update black or whitelists through Pi-Hole, gravity is run as follows:

github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole

advanced/Scripts/list.sh

master


      
                  "--wild" | "wildcard" ) kindId="regex"; typeId="deny"; wildcard=true; abbrv="--wild";;
                  "-d" | "remove" | "delete" ) addmode=false;;
                  "-q" | "--quiet"     ) verbose=false;;
                  "-h" | "--help"      ) helpFunc;;
                  "-l" | "--list"      ) Displaylist;;
                  "--comment"          ) GetComment "${2}"; shift;;
                  *                    ) CreateDomainList "${1}";;
              esac
              shift
          done
          
          shift
          
          if [[ ${#domList[@]} == 0 ]]; then
              helpFunc
          fi
          
          if ${addmode}; then
              AddDomain
          else
              RemoveDomain

Thanks for your reply,

it seems i could also do pihole -g --skip-download --blacklist-only , when for example updating only the blacklist.

Will test this later, thanks again.
