Update your system with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Start raspi-config and go to Interfacing Options and enable the SPI interface.
Download LCD-show van Github:
cd ~ sudo rm -rf LCD-show git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git chmod -R 755 LCD-show
Enter the folder you just cloned with cd LCD-show
Now all you have to do is start the script for your LCD type.
For a 3.5″ display you run sudo ./LCD35-show
The system will install/setup the LCD and reboot with the LCD as display.

To use the HDMI port again, go to the LCD-show folder and run
sudo ./LCD-hdmi to switch back to HDMI.

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.
