Pihole Display

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi 3B+ with pihole
• Waveshare 2.13 inch ePaper display model B (3 colors: black, white and red)

Installation

Waveshare display drivers

• Install the libraries mentioned here.
• Enable spi, i2c and edit the modules config file as given here
• [Optional] Download demo code from here and run it to make sure everything is working

Font Installation

• to install the font on your Pi, run

• also install the requests library (needs pip to be installed)

  sudo pip install requests
  

Final steps

• If you downloaded the demo code, just place the stats.py inside the 2.13inch_e-Paper_HAT-code/raspberrypi/python folder
• If you didnot download the demo code, copy the python folder from this repo into your pi folder.
• run the stats.py script using

  ./start-pihole-stat.sh
  

Running on startup

• Lastly we just want to make this run at boot. We'll do that the easy way by editing /etc/rc.local adding /home/pi/piholedisplay/start-pihole-stat.sh & before exit 0.
• Then save and you can reboot to test it out

Use sudo cp pihole-stati.service /etc/systemd/system sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable pihole-stats.service
