Minimal and clean dashboard to visualize some stats of Pi-Hole with an E-Ink display attached to your Raspberry Pi.
This is very useful if you keep a Pi Zero with Pi-Hole connected to your router and you want a clean dashboard to monitor its status.
- Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 (You can also solder the headers by yourself)
- 2.13 inch E-Ink display HAT for Raspberry Pi
- Pi-Hole (I have v5.3.1 at the moment)
The tool should run out of the box with standard installation of Pi-Hole. If you have a different setup probably the scripts should be adapted too.
If your instance of Pi-Hole is running on a different port than 80, you should change it inside pihole_dashboard/__init__.py.
Making the E-Ink display work is not fully covered here, as it depends mostly on the display you use. As said before, I have the Inky Phat 2.13 inch E-Ink display, that has a nice Getting Started guide here: https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-inky-phat.
You can find there the list of required dependencies for Python and how to run and test the provided examples.
#Remember that you need root access to control the display, so be sure to run the python example as root.
The installation requires to have already a Raspberry with Pi-Hole installed and correctly running, if you have problem installing Pi-Hole check their README.
git clone https://github.com/santoru/pihole-dashboard-inky
cd pihole-dashboard-inky
sudo pip3 install .Once installed, reboot the Raspberry Pi. The dashboard should appear few minutes after the reboot.
You can remove the tool anytime by running
sudo pip uninstall pihole-dashboard-inkyI need to write uo the Cron bit. It was a bit weird on DietPi. But I basically call pihole-dashboard-inky-draw every 5 mins
If the dashboard is not displaying, you can check if the script return an error by running
sudo pihole-dashboard-inky-drawIf everything is working as expected, nothing will be printed out. If you still have errors, please open an issue.
