Install Pi-hole on Volumio.

Posted on by
  • Install Volumio the normal way.
  • Set Volumio to accept ssh connections in the developer settings.
  • Open a ssh session to volumio.local and run the Pi-hole install script.
  • Open /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and set these values:
    server.port = 8080
    server.errorlog = "/tmp/lighttpd_error.log"
    accesslog.filename = "/tmp/lighttpd_access.log"
  • Reload the lighttpd settings with sudo service lighttpd reload or reboot the Raspberry Pi.
  • Go to the Pi-hole web interface at http://volumio.local:8080/admin/
  • (Optional) Set a default web page at the web root:
    cd /var/www/html/
    cp index.lighttpd.orig index.html
    Or set your own index page.

And while you are at it, stop the dhcp-daemon and delete the secondary IP address.
