[Package Request] Pi-Hole #2501

Open iroQuai opened 7 years ago

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

Pi-Hole Description: Network-wide hardware ad blocking on DNS level. Or: "A black hole for Internet advertisements (designed for Raspberry Pi). "

flamme-demon commented 7 years ago

Yes. Good idea

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

Especially interesting with the synology router!

cytec commented 7 years ago

Seems like this is more a collection of debian tools which are installed and configured to work properly when you run the installer... as there are A LOT of dependencies (ex: dnsmasq, lighthttpd, php5, nmap, cronie) and they use whiptail to show dialog boxes... i don't think this is something one would "just make a spk"...

Try installing it with debian chroot like stated on the website that should be a lot easyer!

EDIT: note that i may be wrong with this and someone is going to try and port this but personally i wont bet on that to happen :/

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

Tnx for the reply! I had no idea. Your probably right then, but we'll see. For now I'll try the way explained on their site!

I'd really love this on my DS! I seems like the DNS Server package provided by Synology is based on BIND9. I'm not sure, it was so in the past. Can't find info, too lazy to SSH..

I don't think we'll need all the dependencies... Basic functionality would only require:

This would of course only be possible if the generated "hosts" file can be used in combination of BIND9. Or we could use dnsmasq? Somebody already ported that to a SPK. http://syndnsmasq.the-ninth.com/

Note, I have NO knowledge of creating a SPK, am only a Debian enthousiast, humble developer (non-python) but I do believe this is possible. Either as Pi-Hole or as a seperate slimmed-down package.

cytec commented 7 years ago

well i guess thats more like a slimmed-down pi-hole then. Note: Installing Pi-Hole as it is should work in the debian chroot

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

It does, anf is documented quite good on the pi-hole discourse forums!

But I'm having issues getting the Debian chroot community package to run, it hangs on loading.. Maybe I'll try again later, if not I'll do a new pihole/squid(guard) setup.

How do you guys fix the port-80 problem? Synology is standard running (redirecting and running a reverse proxy) on port 80.

Pi_hole needs port 80. I tried running the docker container and run into this problem. The fix would be adding a second IP address to the Synology... ? someone?

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

That's all explained on the PiHole FAQ (check the link in the first post)

Copied that part for you: The Pi-hole webserver runs on port 80, which is usually already occupied by the webserver, so we need to modify the webserver config:

nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

modify server.port = xxxx to a suitable port (higher than 1023) ctrl+x to save

roelbroersma commented 7 years ago

Yes, I saw that, But it is said that running the Pi-Hole webserver on any other port than 80 is not recommended and might give issues.

I can understand this because the webserver is serving things like: spacer.gif I am not sure how it behaves when you visit http(s)://www.cnn.com and some spacer.gif comes from: http://192.168.x.x:1023/spacer.gif (does this work without safety warning popups,..in all browsers..?)

This is just an example I can imagine, but if I'm wrong or you have it working on another port and can confirm it's working fine, please tell me.

iroQuai commented 7 years ago

No it doesn't work flawlessly, at least not for me. Replaced all the ads with the synology logo (because that was the image found on the standard webpage on port80). Didn't find any way to change it. Changed to using PiHole on a regular pi (zero). Works like a charm now!

More info on why PiHole won't support custom ports here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/1328

Another vote for a pihole package - it'd be awesome to make it easy to setup & use pihole on my NAS!

jocamero commented 3 years ago

+1 PiHole is great! I've been running it for years. It'd be great if it was easier for Synology users to install this.

th0ma7 commented 3 years ago

I looked into creating a package but pihole is really meant to run in a docker container form and difficult for crossed-compiled environments such as Synology. Not that this isn't feasible but would take a lot of efforts to get things going.

mreid-tt commented 1 year ago

I recently tried this in a Docker container using the How to Setup Pi-hole on a Synology NAS guide. I didn't do anything fancy and just used the first method and so far it seems to be working well. I'd much rather use a package than a Docker container but all in all, (running on port 8888) it seems to be working like a champ. It's even using my custom external DNS providers and a handful of internal DNS names which allowed me to move these services off my router. So far I've seen two log warnings for high CPU in the app but I believe this happened when my Synology was doing disk scrubbing at the same time. No sustained performance issues or client slowdowns from what I can tell.
