What is better than a [Pi-hole](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole) blocking trackers, advertisements, and other malicious domains on your network? That's right, **two** Pi-hole blocking all that junk on your network!
- [Seriously. Why two Pi-hole?](https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/Frequent-Questions#why-do-i-need-more-than-one-pi-hole)
But if you have more than one Pi-hole in your network you'll want a simple way to keep the list configurations and local DNS settings identical between the two. That's Gravity Sync. With proper preparation it should only take a few minutes to install. Ideally you set up Gravity Sync and forget about it -- and in the long term, it would be awesome if the Pi-hole team made this entire script unnecessary.

## Features

Gravity Sync replicates the Pi-hole Domain Database (`gravity.db`), which includes:
- Blocklist settings with status and comments.
- Domain whitelist and blacklist along with status with comments.
- Custom RegEx whitelist and blacklists.
- Clients and groups along with any list assignments.
Gravity Sync can also (optionally) replicate FTLDNS/DNSMASQ configuration files, including:
- Local DNS (A Records) which are stored in a separate `custom.list` file within the `/etc/pihole` directory.
- CNAME Records which are stored in a separate `05-pihole-custom-cname.conf` file in the `/etc/dnsmasq.d` directory.
Gravity Sync can also (optionally) replicate the Local DNS Records and CNAMEs configuration files.
