What is better than a Pi-hole blocking trackers, advertisements, and other malicious domains on your network? That's right, two Pi-hole blocking all that junk on your network!
But if you have more than one Pi-hole in your network you'll want a simple way to keep the list configurations and local DNS settings identical between the two. That's where Gravity Sync comes in. With proper preparation, it should only take a few minutes to install. Ideally you setup Gravity Sync and forget about it -- and in the long term, it would be awesome if the Pi-hole team made this entire script unnecessary.
Gravity Sync replicates the Pi-hole Domain Database (gravity.db), which includes:
- Blocklist settings with status and comments.
- Domain whitelist and blacklist along with status with comments.
- Custom RegEx whitelist and blacklists.
- Clients and groups along with any list assignments.
Gravity Sync can also (optionally) replicate the Local DNS Records and CNAMEs configuration files.
Gravity Sync will not:
- Overwrite device specific Pi-hole settings specific to the local network configuration.
- Change the Pi-hole admin/API passwords, nor does not leverage these at all.
- Modify the individual Pi-hole's upstream DNS resolvers.
- Sync DHCP settings or monitor device leases.
- Merge long term data, query logs, or statistics.
- Review System Requirements
- Prepare Your Pi-hole
- Install Gravity Sync (or Upgrade)
- Configure Gravity Sync
- Execute Gravity Sync
- Automate Gravity Sync
- Profit
Gravity Sync is not developed by or affiliated with the Pi-hole project. This is project an unofficial, community effort, that seeks to implement replication (which is currently not a part of the core Pi-hole product) in a way that provides stability and value to Pi-hole users. The code has been tested across multiple user environments but there always is an element of risk involved with running any arbitrary software you find on the Internet.
