# pihole-baremetal
One-command Pi-hole installation on bare metal - network-wide ad blocking DNS server.
## Quick Install
```bash
curl -fsSL -H "Authorization: token 77e3ddaf262bb94f6fa878ca449cc1aa1129a00d" \
"https://git.vish.gg/Vish/pihole-baremetal/raw/branch/main/install.sh" | sudo bash
```
### Install Options
```bash
# Fully unattended (no prompts, uses defaults)
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --unattended
# Without web interface (DNS only)
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --no-lighttpd
# Custom upstream DNS
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --dns1 8.8.8.8 --dns2 8.8.4.4
# Specify interface and IP
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --interface eth0 --ipv4 192.168.1.10/24
# Force install on unsupported OS
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --skip-os-check --unattended
# Combine options
curl ... | sudo bash -s -- --unattended --dns1 9.9.9.9 --dns2 149.112.112.112
```
## What It Does
**Zero intervention required.** The installer automatically:
- Detects your OS (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Rocky, CentOS, Arch, openSUSE)
- Installs all required dependencies
- Detects your network interface and IP address
- Configures Pi-hole with sensible defaults
- Sets up firewall rules (firewalld/ufw/iptables)
- Creates a management helper script
**Run one command, wait 2-3 minutes, done.**

## Post-Install Configuration
### Set Admin Password
```bash
pihole -a -p
```
### Configure Clients
Set your devices or router's DNS server to your Pi-hole's IP address.
**Router (recommended):** Set Pi-hole IP as the primary DNS in your router's DHCP settings. All devices will automatically use Pi-hole.
**Individual devices:** Manually set DNS to Pi-hole IP in network settings.
### Add Custom Blocklists
1. Open Admin Panel → Group Management → Adlists
2. Add URLs of blocklists
3. Run `pihole -g` to update gravity
Popular blocklist sources:
- https://firebog.net/ (curated lists)
- https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

## File Locations
| Path | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `/etc/pihole/` | Pi-hole configuration |
| `/etc/pihole/setupVars.conf` | Installation settings |
| `/etc/pihole/custom.list` | Local DNS records |
| `/etc/dnsmasq.d/` | Dnsmasq configuration |

| `/opt/pihole/` | Pi-hole scripts |
## Troubleshooting
### Check if Pi-hole is running
```bash
pihole status
systemctl status pihole-FTL
```
### DNS not resolving
```bash
# Check if FTL is listening
ss -tulpn | grep ':53'
# Test DNS resolution
dig @127.0.0.1 google.com
# Restart services
pihole restartdns
```
### Web interface not loading
```bash
# Check lighttpd status
systemctl status lighttpd
# Restart lighttpd
systemctl restart lighttpd
```
### View logs for errors
```bash
pihole -t # Tail query log
tail -f /var/log/pihole/FTL.log # FTL log
journalctl -u pihole-FTL -f # Systemd journal
```
### Reset admin password
```bash
pihole -a -p
```
## Uninstall
```bash
pihole uninstall
```
This will remove Pi-hole and optionally its dependencies.
