Auto-updating whitelist with this tool? #38

Closed Infinitay closed 1 year ago

Infinitay commented 1 year ago

Previously I used anudeepND's whitelist repo until I stumbled upon this tool and have been using it since. However, I've come to question whether or not updating gravity also updates the whitelist?

When using anudeepND's, he provides a script to update the whitelists, but there's no option to update here. pihole -g won't update the whitelist lists, right? So are we intended to re-add the lists with the tool? If so, could you perhaps add a feature to colorize the existing added selected default lists? Would be nice in case down the line we ever forgot which we initially added.

Using this tool, the only way to update lists is to remove and re-add them. There is an option to specifically remove only the lists added through it: Manage Blocklists -> Remove Lists Added by This Tool

Manage Allowlists -> Remove Lists Added by This Tool

You may also want to check out pihole-updatelists which requires a bit more setup, but will keep lists up to date for you.
