To prevent the Linux Center's IP Address (my pi-hole ip address in my case) from changing after a Asustor Reboot -or - when Disabling Debian 8 Server, I set its IP Address as static. I gave my Debian 8 Server a static IP address of 192.168.1.139 by configuring 'eth0' by modifying file /etc/network/interfaces. The command to edit file interface:
I changed 'eth0' to the following:
Code: Select all
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.139
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 9.9.9.9

With the recent release of Pi-hole v4.0 I decided to nuke my debian8/pihole from my Linux Center app via "Restore to original settings". So here are much simpler steps to get Pi-Hole running. It works and took less than 10 minutes to setup.
Code: Select all
su root
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install nano curl
Edit interfaces to get static ip so when you reboot NAS and start Debian 8 Server you get same IP addr:
nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.115 (your pi-hole static ip)
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1 (your gateway)
reboot
su root
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Change PiHole password:
pihole -a -p newpassword
set router manual DNS settings:
primary = 192.168.10.115 (your pi-hole static ip)
secondary = 9.9.9.9 (emergency google backup)
apply & push router changes across network
connect to 192.168.10.115/admin (use pi-hole ip)

any news about a native way or maybe an app?

How do you install nano and apt-get on the NAS?

+1 for native way. Even the Synology install is a bit clunky. If Asustor could enable this simply they would have a leg up on Synology in terms of functionality (and not just price).

I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but just came across it when searching for articles relating to pi-hole. Is it possible to get 'Linux Center' working on other Asustor NAS units that aren't in the list of supported models? I was considering getting a Raspberry Pi zero to install it on, but would be great if I could use my existing hardware.
