Not sure if Gravity Sync is right for you? Here are some alternatives you should consider.

Orbital Sync

Orbital Sync uses the built-in "teleporter" backup function of Pi-hole, to backup your configuration and then restore that backup to any number of Pi-hole. It may be better in some contexts where running Gravity Sync directly on the Pi-hole device isn't really practical. (Synology, Unraid, etc.). Orbital Sync's approach is designed to rely less on the servers running Pi-hole by instead acting on their admin interface just like you would. It can also run from inside it's own Docker container.

Pi-Hole Cloudsync

Cloudsync performs many of the same functions as Gravity Sync, the fundamental difference is that Cloudsync uses the cloud (hence the name) to be the authoritative source for multiple Pi-hole instances. Where Gravity Sync is designed to function in a peer model, with both instances either on the same network or accessible through a VPN or other tunnel, Cloudsync pushes changes GitHub to store them and then multiple Pi-hole instances can connect to GitHub and pull them.
