Gravity Sync

Effective July 26, 2024, this project has been retired. Thank you for your use and enthusiasm for a project that began as a few lines of bash in a Slack channel and envolved into something far more complex, and used by many thousands of Pi-hole enthusiasts over the last four years.

The last released version of Gravity Sync (4.0.7) should continue to work with Pi-hole 5.x, but not with Pi-hole 6+ due to architecture changes.

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!

Seriously. Why two Pi-hole?

But if you have redundant 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. Setup should only take a few minutes.

Features

Gravity Sync replicates the core of Pi-hole's ad/telemetry blocking settings, which includes:

Adlist settings with status and comments.
Domain/RegEx whitelists and blacklist along with status and comments.
Clients and group assignments, along with status and descriptions.

Gravity Sync also replicates local network DNS/DHCP settings, which includes:

Local DNS Records.
Local CNAME Records.
Static DHCP Assignments.

Limitations

Gravity Sync will not:

Modify or sync the individual Pi-hole's upstream DNS resolvers.
Merge query logs, statistics, long-term data, caches, or other resolution information.
Sync individual Pi-hole DHCP scoping information or leases.

Setup Steps

Disclaimer

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.
