Home Network Overlord - DNS Admin

The webserver that wraps pihole to allow one-touch "blacklist" of domains via mqttthing/ homekit on iOS - so that you don't need to do all or nothing.

Requires:

• Homebridge: MQTT Thing
• NodeRed
• Gunicorn/ Flask
• Pihole

Disclaimers

1. Once the new pihole api is released, will potentially be deprecated
2. Design choice: keep node-red focused on transport than the heavy lifting of config management
3. Design limitation: MQTT Thing doesn't support dynamic accessories currently, so each provider will need

NodeRed Config
