The simplest way is to run a simple cron job a few times a day. Remember to set the cron job for the root user (with `sudo crontab -e`). Once you can successfully run `pihole-cloudsync --push` from the command line on your Primary Pi-hole, do `sudo crontab -e` and create a cron entry such as: -`00 01,13 * * * /usr/local/bin/pihole-cloudsync/pihole-cloudsync --push > /dev/null 2>&1 #Push Master Pi-hole Lists to remote Git repo` +`00 01,07,13,19 * * * /usr/local/bin/pihole-cloudsync/pihole-cloudsync --push > /dev/null 2>&1 #Push Master Pi-hole Lists to remote Git repo` And once you can successfully run `pihole-cloudsync --pull` from the command line on each of your Secondary Pi-holes, do `sudo crontab -e` and create a cron entry that runs 5 minutes after your Primary pushes any changes, such as: -`05 01,13 * * * /usr/local/bin/pihole-cloudsync/pihole-cloudsync --pull > /dev/null 2>&1 #Pull Master Pi-hole Lists from remote Git repo` +`05 01,07,13,19 * * * /usr/local/bin/pihole-cloudsync/pihole-cloudsync --pull > /dev/null 2>&1 #Pull Master Pi-hole Lists from remote Git repo` # Disclaimer You are totally responsible for anything this script does to your system.
