Toon app: PiHoleStats

[TerrorSource]

Long time ago i made an app (DomoticzBoard) which Toonz has improved over the time.
Last couple of weeks i brainstormed over new ideas for apps while i was redesigning my homenetwork and i came up with the idea for a PiHole app.

It's just a simple app which queries the PiHole server and shows the stats of PiHole on the Toon.
App has a tile which shows the total ads blocked on that day and the amount of ads blocked in %.

Click on the Tile or the Sys Tray icon shows more information queried from PiHole.
- status
- domains_being_blocked
- dns_queries_today
- ads_blocked_today
- ads_percentage_today
- queries_forwarded
- queries_cached
- clients_ever_seen
- unique_clients
- gravity_last_updated

To Do (if possible):
- Enable/Disable PiHole
- Pause for x minutes
- Color text in Tile when PiHole is disabled
- Data shown in a nicer way (not just text)

Nice App, thanks!!
I installed and realized i had to update

maybe also a nice idea for a update, have a massage on toon when there is an update available for pi-hole!
and maybe an option to update the lists from toon when possible offcource.

Oh and on my toon the icon isn't showing but just a white block. not a big problem but nevertheless ithought i would mention it

Im not sure it i can retrieve that information from pihole.

Do you have the latest TSC-resourcefile? Icons should be in it. You can check that via Instellingen > TSC > Check for updates.

Gues that is the problem, wil update it tomorrow

Edit: i updated it and the Icon is visable now.

P.S. i noticed that the stats are updated automaticly, can you create an auto refresh?

Goodmorning, i would like to use this nice app together with my Pihole.
Is see you where planning to add the feature ON/OFF, do you think this is gonna happen?
It would be nice to enable/disable the pihole via the Toon, people who are using pihole can imagine that you would like to disable it for a few minutes (like you can on the webinterface).

Would be nice!

I looked into it while i created the app.

Authorization and a token is needed to enable/disable or pause PiHole for x seconds.
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-api/1863

Not sure if it can be done without token in PiHole 4 or PiHole 5.

Okay. But isn.t it an idea to create that option and let the users by themselfes adjust the password-settings in "/etc/pihole/setupVars.conf) via SSH?

Working on a new version with pre-programmed pause buttons (meaning that you cannot set the timers yourself)
Still in a doubt to put a button on the Tile, i prefer not as there's not much space left on the Tile.

WOW!!!!!

Thats an very good feauture!!
Everybody who uses Pihole knows that sometimes url.s are blocked when you only want to visit them for 1 time. This would be nice!

I just installed the app and i see the button, unfortanatly they don.t work (yet).

It still keeps saying "enabled" and when i go to an ad test page it says i am still ad blocking.

Or am i to quik and you are stil busy ?

Did you fill in the Token in the settings screen?

It should refresh the screen after clicking a button, if not, give it a few seconds.

[Joskep]

I filled in my password, like i do when i login normally. Is that correct?

When i login via cellphone and choose 'disable' the i see the apo on the Toon changes "enabled" into "disabled"

[TerrorSource]

Web password is not the Token.

You need to extract the token from /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf file

[Joskep]

Sorry sorry sorry !
I didnt do...one moment

[Joskep]

Is it the 64 character after "WEBPASSWORD=" ?

I did in (manually ;-( but the same result.or do you mean another token?

EDIT: WORKS!!!!!

I forgot one character.

Thanks!!!!
