What would have to change
-
Filestructure Changes
** create two subdirectories under /etc/pihole/
*** gravitywell
**** move gravity.list to this folder
*** lists
**** move adlist.list to this folder -
Webui Changes
** Seperate Blocklists into it's own page
** add a "+" button to add categories. (default install will only have one) and a typing field.
*** when you click this, have it (for this example we'll say user typed malicious):
touch gravitywell/malicious.list
touch lists/malicious.list
echo "addn-hosts=/etc/pihole/gravitywell/malicious.list" | tee --append $DNSMASQCONF &>/dev/null
** also would need a "-" button to do the exact opposite
- gravity.sh changes:
for f in /etc/pihole/lists/*.list do BASEFILENAME=$(echo basename $f | cut -f 1 -d '.'`)
adList=${piholeDir}/gravitywell/"$BASEFILENAME".list
(do all the normal gravity.sh stuff)
grep dnsmasq conf for the necessary line
done
Added Benefits
- dnsmasq "might" recover faster from a restart.
Other Random Thoughts
-
Have suggested category names
-
Give the lists a syntax that you can name lists, so that lists don't all say "raw.github...."
-
create a parseme.list for lists that are not compatible with Pi-hole.
** have a separate version of gravity that can parse the list down to make it compatible.
** process this .list separately from gravity, and separately, as it will take longer
