pihole-manager
Simple web interface for managing two Pi-hole instances
Contents
pihole grabber
The pihole grabber is a program to fetch data from the two Pi-hole instances and save it to json files. A systemctl service file is included too.
web interface
The web interface needs putting behind a web server of some kind. An nginx docker container is probably the most convenient.
Instructions
git clone https://github.com/tjeffree/pihole-manager.git
cd pihole-manager
Set up .env
Copy the example.env to .env and update it with your two Pi-hole details.
cp example.env .env
nano .env
There is no attention to security here, it's assumed your Pi-holes are on your internal network and not exposed to the world.
Full docker
Install docker and docker compose
Hit up docker.io
Run
docker-compose up -d
That's it, you're done. The dashboard will be available at http://[address-of-server]:8080
Python daemon setup
Install dependancies
pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
Test it
python3 ./piholegrabber.py
Should see a bit of output showing the Pis that are being monitored. It'll wait for you to ctrl+c to quit.
Set up service
Modify piholemanage.service with the location of piholegrabber.py then:
sudo cp piholemanage.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/piholemanage.service
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/piholemanage.service
sudo systemctl enable piholemanage
sudo systemctl start piholemanage
Check it's running with:
sudo systemctl status piholemanage
You should also find a new data directory in the pihole-manager directory.
Web interface setup
Install docker
Hit up docker.io
Start container
docker run --name pihole-manage -v `pwd`:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 8080:80 -d nginx
Now you should be able to hit http://[address-of-server]:8080
I used 8080 in case you are running this on the same server as Pi-hole which already uses port 80 but change as you like
