[resolved] Issue adding custom lists to Pi-Hole

Troubleshooting
1

Hi!

First of all, thanks for DietPi, it’s great! However, I’m having some issues with Pi-Hole. The installer said it was a fork of the official version of Pi-Hole and that I needed to visit DietPi for support, so here I am :wink:

I’m having some issues adding custom lists to Pi-Hole. To do so I’ve done the following:

cp /etc/pihole/adlists.default /etc/pihole/adlists.list
nano /etc/pihole/adlists.list

Added:

curl -s https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylistdutch+easylist.txt | sed 's/^||//' | cut -d'^' -f-1

Ran:

pihole -g

But then I get these errors:

::: Getting curl list... No changes detected, transport skipped!
::: Getting -s list...curl: no URL specified!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
 No changes detected, transport skipped!
::: Getting easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org list... List updated, transport successful!
::: Getting | list... No changes detected, transport skipped!
::: Getting sed list... No changes detected, transport skipped!
::: Getting  list... No changes detected, transport skipped!
::: Getting | list... No changes detected, transport skipped!

Is there something wrong with my syntax? Does it need to be in quotes?

Many thanks!

I managed to fix it using https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/4p2tp7/adding_easylist_and_other_adblocklike_sources_to/ :slight_smile:

Basically I got confused by this guy’s config, which is totally broken:

Thanks again :slight_smile: !
