Therefore, we provide these alternative installation methods which allow code review before installation: ### Method 1: Clone our repository and run ```bash git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole cd "Pi-hole/automated install/" sudo bash basic-install.sh ``` ### Method 2: Manually download the installer and run ```bash wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net sudo bash basic-install.sh ``` ### Method 3: Using Docker to deploy Pi-hole Please refer to the [Pi-hole docker repo](https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole) to use the Official Docker Images. ## [Post-install: Make your network take advantage of Pi-hole](https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/post-install/) Once the installer has been run, you will need to [configure your router to have **DHCP clients use Pi-hole as their DNS server**](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-configure-my-devices-to-use-pi-hole-as-their-dns-server/245). This router configuration will ensure that all devices connecting to your network will have content blocked without any further intervention. If your router does not support setting the DNS server, you can [use Pi-hole's built-in DHCP server](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-use-pi-holes-built-in-dhcp-server-and-why-would-i-want-to/3026); be sure to disable DHCP on your router first (if it has that feature available). As a last resort, you can manually set each device to use Pi-hole as their DNS server. ----- ## Pi-hole is free but powered by your support There are many reoccurring costs involved with maintaining free, open-source, and privacy-respecting software; expenses which [our volunteer developers](https://github.com/orgs/pi-hole/people) pitch in to cover out-of-pocket. This is just one example of how strongly we feel about our software and the importance of keeping it maintained.

You'll find that the [install script](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh) and the [debug script](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Scripts/piholeDebug.sh) have an abundance of comments, which will help you better understand how Pi-hole works. They're also a valuable resource to those who want to learn how to write scripts or code a program! We encourage anyone who likes to tinker to read through it and submit a pull request for us to review. ----- ## Getting in touch with us While we are primarily reachable on our [Discourse User Forum](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/), we can also be found on various social media outlets. **Please be sure to check the FAQs** before starting a new discussion, as we do not have the spare time to reply to every request for assistance. - [Frequently Asked Questions](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/c/faqs) - [Feature Requests](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/c/feature-requests?order=votes) - [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/The_Pi_hole) ----- ## Breakdown of Features ### [Faster-than-light Engine](https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl) [FTLDNS](https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl) is a lightweight, purpose-built daemon used to provide statistics needed for the Web Interface, and its API can be easily integrated into your own projects. As the name implies, FTLDNS does this all _very quickly_! Some of the statistics you can integrate include: - Total number of domains being blocked - Total number of DNS queries today - Total number of ads blocked today - Percentage of ads blocked - Unique domains - Queries forwarded (to your chosen upstream DNS server) - Queries cached - Unique clients Access the API via [`telnet`](https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL), the Web (`admin/api.php`) and Command Line (`pihole -c -j`). You can find out [more details over here](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-api/1863). ### The Command-Line Interface The [pihole](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/) command has all the functionality necessary to fully administer the Pi-hole, without the need for the Web Interface. It's fast, user-friendly, and auditable by anyone with an understanding of `bash`. Some notable features include: - [Whitelisting, Blacklisting, and Regex](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#whitelisting-blacklisting-and-regex) - [Debugging utility](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#debugger) - [Viewing the live log file](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#tail) - [Updating Ad Lists](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#gravity) - [Querying Ad Lists for blocked domains](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#query) - [Enabling and Disabling Pi-hole](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#enable-disable) - ... and _many_ more! You can read our [Core Feature Breakdown](https://docs.pi-hole.net/core/pihole-command/#pi-hole-core) for more information. ### The Web Interface Dashboard This [optional dashboard](https://github.com/pi-hole/web) allows you to view stats, change settings, and configure your Pi-hole. It's the power of the Command Line Interface, with none of the learning curve! Some notable features include: - Mobile-friendly interface - Password protection - Detailed graphs and doughnut charts - Top lists of domains and clients - A filterable and sortable query log - Long Term Statistics to view data over user-defined time ranges - The ability to easily manage and configure Pi-hole features - ... and all the main features of the Command Line Interface! There are several ways to [access the dashboard](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-access-pi-holes-dashboard-admin-interface/3168): 1. `http://pi.hole/admin/` (when using Pi-hole as your DNS server) 2. `http://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PI_HOLE>/admin/` ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"3602","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
