An Alfred workflow to control Pi-hole quicky.

Already using Alfred 5? Then install version 1.2.0 of this workflow.
If you use Alfred 4, then use the version 1.1.0 of this workflow.
Use Alfred keyword pihole and choose one of the commands:
Admin to open the admin web interface.
Disable to disable Pi-hole.
Enable to enable Pi-hole.
Status to display enable/disable status.
You may also setup hotkeys as shortcuts to disable and enable Pi-hole.
Before you use this workflow you need to set it up. To do so, open the workflow configuration to set its environment variables.
url
Set the URL to the admin web-interface.
For example: http://192.168.1.1:8089/admin/
host_address
Set IP address or name of the host.
For example: 192.168.1.1
host_user
Set name of the host user.
For example: pi
host_password (optional)
Set password of the host user,
if you don't use ssh key.
container (optional)
Set docker container name.
For example: pihole
disable_duration (optional)
Set duration for disable command until Pi-hole gets enabled automatically.
For example: 5m
Leave empty for infinite duration.
With Alfred 4.1 upwards you can use the external triggers of this workflow to use its actions from other workflows or Apple Scripts. (see: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/triggers/external/)
As I search for products to purchase, I sometimes like to click on advertised links intentionally, which is not possible, if Pi-hole is enabled. It's a bit annoying and slow to call the web admin interface, login and hit the disable button. To quickly control Pi-hole in this scenario, an Alfred workflow is a perfect solution and I created it.
