I have a "main" Pihole on a Raspberry Pi, and I set up another instance in a VM for secondary functions.

Can you just point the second to the first?

[–] GeekyOnion@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Huh. Good tip! I'll have to test this out.

I have this same setup, current strategy is I have automation in my n8n where I can fill in a form and if submits the dns addition to both piholes via api. I am considering alternatives but has worked alright for now
