jejje / pihole-rsync Goto Github PK

Hi, this is interesting and seems quite simple - thank you for sharing.

When I set this up unfortunately I get a permissions denied error when I run this - any ideas on what am I doing wrong?

Here is what I get when manually running this from the 'master pihole' to the secondary one.

pi@pi-server2:/etc/pihole $ sudo ./pi_rsync.sh -s

Running command pihole -g on {192.168.10.66}

Thanks.

I was wondering if we really needed the pihole -g command?
As we rsync the whole DB, I think that a simple stop / restart / reload list would be enough, or am I wrong?

Other than that, your script is simple and do all I need. Thanks for that :-)

Oh, and the crontab you create within the script indicates /etc/pi_rsynch.sh ; I edited it as it should be /etc/pihole/pi_rsynch.sh

:-)

I guess this is a feature request.
I would like to also sync my dhcp static leases.
I did solve this for me but not cleanly as my script writing skills are non existant.

I copied the script to /etc/dnsmasq.d/pi_rsycdhcp.sh

Then I edited it to sync 04-pihole-static-dhcp.conf (your name may be different)
and changed any directory /etc/pihole/ to /etc/dnsmasq.d/

Ran it and it worked.

It would be great if this could all be one script.

Awesome script way easier than setting up containers to run a separate program.
