Take note of the IP address at the bottom of the print out next to Pi-hole DNS (IPv4) and the Web Interface password. This will take you through a series of prompts that you mostly will press enter/yes to, select your upstream DNS and once you pop out the other end you will have a print out that looks like: I went with the simplest option: $ curl -sSL | bash

You can run Pi-Hole in a container, however I chose to directly install this for two reasons, I suspect the overhead of Docker would cause performance issues and I won't be utilising the reasons for Docker i.e. I ran the test a couple of times, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 came out with the lowest response times both times. $ cd ~/go/src//mwiora/NAMEinator/Īfter NAMEinator finishes testing the DNSs for responses you should get a report print out: LETS GO - each dot is a completed domain request against all nameserversĪvg. If you don't have go-lang installed skip this step and choose a DNS provider you're comfortable with - I'd recommend Cloudflare. I found this tool a fork from a broken Google tool that did the job. I wanted to know which one was going to give me the best performance. You need to select an upstream DNS as part of the Pi-Hole install. Then change password: $ passwd Step 4: Optional what's the fastest Upstream DNS to select ? #

Run the following command to update the R Pi - this can take around 30mins so take a break at this point ?: $ sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade -y When asked for a password, raspberry is the default. Your network will assign an IP address to the PI but the default hostname is nicer. Of course if you mistyped your WiFi credentials you won't be able to ssh in ?♂️. However, it may take a little while to be able to ssh into the R Pi - allow up to 2 minutes. When you first power up the R Pi it will immediately start flashing a small green LED. $ touch ssh Step 3: ? Turn on the R Pi connect to it and update # In the same directory create a blank file ssh, ensuring that there's no extension. You can add multiple WiFi networks by repeating the above config with the relevant network credentials. BOOT/wpa_nfand enter the following updating the country and wifi details: country =GB #your country's 2digit isocodeĬtrl_interface =DIR =/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP =netdev If you can't already see a wpa_nf file, create one in the root of the sd card i.e. (Re)Connect the flashed SD card to your computer - you should see that it has been recognised as BOOT. The NOOBs micro sd card comes preloaded with raspbian - if you have a blank SD you'll have to find instructions to flash it with Raspbian or a suitable alternative unix flavour. Step 2: Setting up the Micro SD with the operating system and connectivity ?? # I have the slightly more expensive 'W' version - it's twice the price but I'd certainly recommend it for connectivity reasons, otherwise you'll be a little stuck for internet! Step 1: The Ingredients ? # It genuinely is something to be excited about ?. Here are the specs for the Raspberry Pi Zero: When the Raspberry Pi Zero came out it hit front pages as the $5 computer and sold out instantly.
