pihole-FTL
Upstream documentation: https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/
pihole-FTL is a fork of Dnsmasq, providing some additional features, including an API for analysis and statistics.
Note that pihole-FTL and Dnsmasq cannot be enabled at the same time.
Configuration
pihole-FTL can be configured with {option}services.pihole-ftl.settings, which controls the content of pihole.toml.
The template pihole.toml is provided in pihole-ftl.passthru.settingsTemplate,
which describes all settings.
Example configuration:
{
services.pihole-ftl = {
enable = true;
openFirewallDNS = true;
openFirewallDHCP = true;
queryLogDeleter.enable = true;
lists = [
{
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts";
# Alternatively, use the file from nixpkgs. Note its contents won't be
# automatically updated by Pi-hole, as it would with an online URL.
# url = "file://${pkgs.stevenblack-blocklist}/hosts";
description = "Steven Black's unified adlist";
}
];
settings = {
dns = {
domainNeeded = true;
expandHosts = true;
interface = "br-lan";
listeningMode = "BIND";
upstreams = [ "127.0.0.1#5053" ];
};
dhcp = {
active = true;
router = "192.168.10.1";
start = "192.168.10.2";
end = "192.168.10.254";
leaseTime = "1d";
ipv6 = true;
multiDNS = true;
hosts = [
# Static address for the current host
"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,192.168.10.1,${config.networking.hostName},infinite"
];
rapidCommit = true;
};
misc.dnsmasq_lines = [
# This DHCP server is the only one on the network
"dhcp-authoritative"
# Source: https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml
"trust-anchor=.,38696,8,2,683D2D0ACB8C9B712A1948B27F741219298D0A450D612C483AF444A4C0FB2B16"
];
};
};
}
Inheriting configuration from Dnsmasq
If {option}services.pihole-ftl.useDnsmasqConfig is enabled, the configuration options of the Dnsmasq
module will be automatically
used by pihole-FTL. Note that this may cause duplicate option errors
depending on pihole-FTL settings.
See the Dnsmasq
example for
an exemplar Dnsmasq configuration. Make sure to set
{option}services.dnsmasq.enable to false and
{option}services.pihole-ftl.enable to true instead:
{
services.pihole-ftl = {
enable = true;
useDnsmasqConfig = true;
};
}
Serving on multiple interfaces
Pi-hole's configuration only supports specifying a single interface. If you want
to configure additional interfaces with different configuration, use
misc.dnsmasq_lines to append extra Dnsmasq options.
{
services.pihole-ftl = {
settings.misc.dnsmasq_lines = [
# Specify the secondary interface
"interface=enp1s0"
# A different device is the router on this network, e.g. the one
# provided by your ISP
"dhcp-option=enp1s0,option:router,192.168.0.1"
# Specify the IPv4 ranges to allocate, with a 1-day lease time
"dhcp-range=enp1s0,192.168.0.10,192.168.0.253,1d"
# Enable IPv6
"dhcp-range=::f,::ff,constructor:enp1s0,ra-names,ra-stateless"
];
};
}
Administration
pihole command documentation: https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/pihole-command
Enabling pihole-FTL provides the pihole command, which can be used to control
the daemon and some configuration.
Note that in NixOS the script has been patched to remove the reinstallation, update, and Dnsmasq configuration commands. In NixOS, Pi-hole's configuration is immutable and must be done with NixOS options.
For more convenient administration and monitoring, see Pi-hole Dashboard
