Pi-hole for Android uses Pi Deploy, a fork of Linux Deploy to simplify installaion of Debian Linux to most rooted Android devices.

What's New (January 2024)

  • Updated image to Debian 12 (Bookworm).
  • Pi Deploy image is now 64-bit by default.
  • If your Android build is 32-bit you need to configure Pi Deploy to use the correct image: Tap Properties and change the end of the Source Path URL from /raspbian.tgz to /raspbian32.tgz
  • Switched to curl to fix SSL issues and improve download reliability.
  • Resolved RDP login issue on Android 13 and newer.

Note to users running previous version:

  • This version incudes an updated APK installer.
  • Login to your existing deployment and run sudo unchroot uname -m. If your device returns armv7or armv8, your Android build is 32-bit and you must change the Source Path URL to /raspbian32.tgz
  • Uninstall the old Pi Deploy build and reboot your device before installing the updated APK. Failure to do so will cause issues!
  • If required, use Pi-hole Teleporter to back-up your existing configuration.

Installation:

  • Download and Install the Pi Deploy APK
  • Tap the Options menu (Three dots ⋮ at top right of screen)
  • Tap New Deployment
  • After a few moments the Raspbian Image will download and install to your device.
  • When deployment is complete, tap [ ▷ START ] to launch the instance.
  • The instance will provide you with a password for Pi-hole admin, SSH and RDP access (Username: android, see screenshot below)
  • Note: The password appears only once when the image is deployed, make sure you record this information.
  • Hint: The password text can be copy/pasted to other Android apps (like Remote Desktop)

Post-install add-ons:

  • To install PIXEL Desktop, run pideploy-gui-install. Next time you login via RDP you will have a full desktop session with audio support.

  • For Nextcloud 27, run pideploy-nextcloud-install to launch the patched Nextcloudpi installer. Consult the official NextCloud documentation for administration of this powerful collaboration tool.
