Lists set in BLACKLIST_URL not syncing

lukeeexd

I am trying to add https://[raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/pro.txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/pro.txt) and https://[raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/tif.txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/tif.txt) to BLACKLIST_URL. I add them to my compose and restart the container and do a gravity update but I can't see them appear. Am I doing something wrong? ``` services: pihole: image: jacklul/pihole:latest container_name: pihole network_mode: host cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: TZ: 'Europe/Dublin' FTLCONF_webserver_api_password: '' FTLCONF_webserver_port: '8050' CRONTAB_STRING: '0 0 * * *' BLOCKLISTS_URL: 'https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick' WHITELIST_URL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/whitelist.txt' REGEX_BLACKLIST_URL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/master/regex.list' BLACKLIST_URL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/pro.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/tif.txt' volumes: - /volume2/docker/pihole/pihole:/etc/pihole restart: unless-stopped labels: - "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=false" ```

Those lists are in adblock format, they should not be added to denied domains, they belong to blocklists. Add them manually through the Pi-hole's web UI. Adding them in `BLOCKLISTS_URL` might work, but it is unsupported. `WHITELIST_URL` and `BLACKLIST_URL` is for handcrafted/personal lists only, as recommended by the devs. You will be better off with putting `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/whitelist.txt` into `ALLOWLISTS_URL` instead.

As per the docs, `ALLOWLISTS_URL` is for "[r]emote list[s] URL containing list of allowlists to import". But `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/whitelist.txt` isn't a list containing lists. It's a list containting URL's: <details> ``` 0.client-channel.google.com 1drv.com 2.android.pool.ntp.org akamaihd.net akamaitechnologies.com akamaized.net amazonaws.com android.clients.google.com api.ipify.org api.rlje.net app-api.ted.com appleid.apple.com apps.skype.com appsbackup-pa.clients6.google.com appsbackup-pa.googleapis.com apt.sonarr.tv aspnetcdn.com attestation.xboxlive.com ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net brightcove.net c.s-microsoft.com cdn.cloudflare.net cdn.embedly.com cdn.optimizely.com cdn.vidible.tv cdn2.optimizely.com cdn3.optimizely.com cdnjs.cloudflare.com cert.mgt.xboxlive.com clientconfig.passport.net clients1.google.com clients2.google.com clients3.google.com clients4.google.com clients5.google.com clients6.google.com cpms.spop10.ams.plex.bz cpms35.spop10.ams.plex.bz cse.google.com ctldl.windowsupdate.com d2c8v52ll5s99u.cloudfront.net d2gatte9o95jao.cloudfront.net dashboard.plex.tv dataplicity.com def-vef.xboxlive.com delivery.vidible.tv dev.virtualearth.net device.auth.xboxlive.com display.ugc.bazaarvoice.com displaycatalog.mp.microsoft.com dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com dl.dropbox.com dl.dropboxusercontent.com dns.msftncsi.com download.sonarr.tv drift.com driftt.com dynupdate.no-ip.com ecn.dev.virtualearth.net edge.api.brightcove.com eds.xboxlive.com fonts.gstatic.com forums.sonarr.tv g.live.com geo-prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com geo3.ggpht.com giphy.com github.com github.io googleapis.com gravatar.com gstatic.com help.ui.xboxlive.com hls.ted.com i.ytimg.com i1.ytimg.com imagesak.secureserver.net img.vidible.tv imgix.net imgs.xkcd.com instantmessaging-pa.googleapis.com intercom.io jquery.com jsdelivr.net keystone.mwbsys.com lastfm-img2.akamaized.net licensing.xboxlive.com live.com login.live.com login.microsoftonline.com manifest.googlevideo.com meta-db-worker02.pop.ric.plex.bz meta.plex.bz meta.plex.tv microsoftonline.com msftncsi.com my.plexapp.com nexusrules.officeapps.live.com npr-news.streaming.adswizz.com nine.plugins.plexapp.com no-ip.com node.plexapp.com notify.xboxlive.com ns1.dropbox.com ns2.dropbox.com o1.email.plex.tv o2.sg0.plex.tv ocsp.apple.com office.com office.net office365.com officeclient.microsoft.com om.cbsi.com onedrive.live.com outlook.live.com outlook.office365.com placehold.it placeholdit.imgix.net players.brightcove.net pricelist.skype.com products.office.com proxy.plex.bz proxy.plex.tv proxy02.pop.ord.plex.bz pubsub.plex.bz pubsub.plex.tv raw.githubusercontent.com redirector.googlevideo.com res.cloudinary.com s.gateway.messenger.live.com s.marketwatch.com s.youtube.com s.ytimg.com s1.wp.com s2.youtube.com s3.amazonaws.com sa.symcb.com secure.avangate.com secure.brightcove.com secure.surveymonkey.com services.sonarr.tv skyhook.sonarr.tv spclient.wg.spotify.com ssl.p.jwpcdn.com staging.plex.tv status.plex.tv t.co t0.ssl.ak.dynamic.tiles.virtualearth.net t0.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net tawk.to tedcdn.com themoviedb.com thetvdb.com tinyurl.com title.auth.xboxlive.com title.mgt.xboxlive.com traffic.libsyn.com tvdb2.plex.tv tvthemes.plexapp.com twimg.com ui.skype.com video-stats.l.google.com videos.vidible.tv widget-cdn.rpxnow.com win10.ipv6.microsoft.com wp.com ws.audioscrobbler.com www.dataplicity.com www.googleapis.com www.msftncsi.com www.no-ip.com www.youtube-nocookie.com xbox.ipv6.microsoft.com xboxexperiencesprod.experimentation.xboxlive.com xflight.xboxlive.com xkms.xboxlive.com xsts.auth.xboxlive.com youtu.be youtube-nocookie.com yt3.ggpht.com zee.cws.conviva.com pings.conviva.com cws.conviva.com livepassdl.conviva.com gfwsl.geforce.com appspot-preview.l.google.com vidtech.cbsinteractive.com continuum.dds.microsoft.com connectivitycheck.gstatic.com connectivitycheck.android.com www.msftconnecttest.com ``` </details>
