hostfile-merge

Small script I use for merging hostfiles from different sources. Made for PiHole or Adguard Home.

This script is made to use as a Cronjob. I host this script under a subdomain on a public webhosting so that not only I but also other AdGoard Home devices I serve can use the same list and I dont need to update all manualy but on one central place.

Works with PiHole and Adguard Home.

Requirements

• PHP (I tested with PHP 7.4)
• Apache (or NGINX) webserver

Install & Usage

1. Clone or download the repo to a publicly accessible place like a Apache or NGINX webserver with PHP installed.
2. Edit Cron.php and ad you're lists to the array. Example:

   $blacklists = [
       __DIR__ . "/custom_blacklist.txt",
       "https://adguardteam.github.io/AdGuardSDNSFilter/Filters/filter.txt",
       "https://adaway.org/hosts.txt",
   ];
   
   $whitelist = [
       __DIR__ . "/custom_whitelist.txt"
   ];

3. Custom domains can be added to the custom_blacklist.txt and custom_whitelist.txt located in the Custom directory.
4. Make a cron job so that the script refresh the lists for example every day or every hour.
5. Enter the URL of the whitelist and blacklist in either PiHole or Adguard Home.
6. In the .github/workflows directory there is a GitHub Actions file called main.yml this file makes it posible to automatic build the files for us every day.
