Gravity Sync is a shell script that replicates the DNS blocking configuration (adlists, whitelists, blacklists, groups, local DNS/CNAME records, and static DHCP assignments) between two Pi-hole 5.x instances. It was retired in July 2024 and does not support Pi-hole 6+.
Use cases
- keep two pi-hole instances in sync
- synchronize pi-hole adlists between primary and secondary
- set up redundant pi-hole high availability
- replicate pi-hole local dns records to a backup
- automate pi-hole config replication with cron
- sync pi-hole gravity.db between servers
When to choose
- you run two Pi-hole 5.x instances and want them to share blocking configuration
- you need a simple pull-based replication script with cron automation
- you want community-maintained replication not offered by core Pi-hole
When to avoid
- you run Pi-hole 6 or later, which changed the architecture
- you need bidirectional merging or real-time replication
- you want to sync query logs, statistics, or DHCP leases
- you need actively maintained software
