Downloading Pi-Hole on your server

What is a Pi-Hole?

Pi-Hole serves as an ad-blocking solution using DNS, designed for personal use. Offering network-wide protection, it effectively blocks in-app advertisements, enhances network performance, and provides monitoring for statistics.

Downloading Pi-Hole?

To install Pi-Hole, employ their automated installer with the execution of the following command

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

Respond to the presented questions according to your preferences. Once the installation is complete, a screen will appear with the URL to the web interface and your login credentials. If the credentials don’t immediately show, ensure to close the “Installation Complete!” screen. The password will display in green after closing the screen.

[i] Web Interface password: fxY4GU53

Modify the password manually using the following command if needed.

pihole -a -p

Once the installation is complete, configure Pi-Hole by designating it as your device’s DNS server. For network-wide usage, ensure to configure it as the primary DNS server in your router settings.
