Update for Pihole v5.0. Read their blog post for list of improvements and changes.

Due to issues with installing pihole v5.0 I decided to add a post providing the current issues and ways to get around it. Both of these issues will most likely be fixed in later updates?

1. (Issue with installing)
Note that this issue is only for routers that run Debian 8 or less. The current issue with installing pihole v5.0 is with php5-intl and php-xml package dependencies. These two dependencies currently can't be installed due to being missed named in pihole install code. This issues can be solved either by trying to install php7 on Debian 8, modifying pihole install code to look for the correct name of these packages, or by reinstalling the source code for pihole v4.4 and then install the latest pihole version via curl command.

2. (Issue with database read only)
This issue can be solved by the following commands in debian after installing pihole v5.0:

Code: 
sudo usermod -a -G pihole www-data

sudo chown -R pihole /etc/pihole/

Router stats for further details:
RT-AC1900
scripts: amtm, skynet, and file swap 2g.
Firmware version: 348.15
Average memory usage: 50% or 128mb (about the same with pihole gui open)
cpu usage : low only around 5% on idle with pihole running

Lastly it should be noted that running pihole directly on these routers is not for someone who wants something that is a simple install and is stable. For that check out Diversion.

This was a fun project that I took up as a learning experience. After following a few guides I managed to do this and if anyone wants to have it up and running here are the steps. Note, I don't 100% know what I'm doing. This setup just worked for my RT-AC68U router. Overall the cpu and ram seems to handle pihole without trouble. Note having ram swap set up is recommended.
For pihole v5.0 see issue guide

1. Following these guides to get Debian running on the router Stretch, Jessie, or wheezy (anything running wheezy is less likely to work due to compatibility of pi-hole.)
If you get an update error after entering "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y" then you need to edit the source.list (This doesn't appear to be a current issue)
Code: 
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Getting everything ready for pihole
Code: 
apt-get install curl
apt-get install sudo
sudo -s
mount /proc
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab

3. Installing pihole. For setup make sure the eth or vlan you choose isn't taken by using the "ip a" command.
Code: 
curl -L https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
If you get back an error relating to storage space try the following instead.
Code: 
sudo -s
cd /
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net
sudo bash basic-install.sh --i_do_not_follow_recommendations

4. Depending on the router you might have to compile FTL. You will know if this is the case if you are getting a "old kernel" error or issues with FTL that isn't related to port number. Just follow this guide for compiling. If you get an Error 1 after entering "sudo make install" that is to be expected just continue the guide.
If you get a port 53 taken error just run the following command.
Code: 
netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471 \|:5453 \|:8093'
killall -9 dnsmasq
Restart pihole-FTL service.

5. Changing port 80 for the website (if needed)
Code: 
nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

change it to what you want

sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart

Now you should have pihole running.
creating the following script and adding it to S99debian will allow pihole to start up if the router reboots.
Code: 
chroot /opt/debian /bin/bash <<"EOT"
sudo ip address add (pihole ip) dev (eth or vlan)
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
killall -9 dnsmasq
sudo service pihole-FTL restart
EOT

Don't forget to backup Debian.
DNS over TLS and DNSSEC can be enabled if you add stubby or unbound.
Please feel free to add suggestions or possible improvements.

I have a very successful setup of AX88U and and a Raspberry Pi (running PiHole5 + Unbound)...

... however, seeing your post got me interested that I could run PiHole 5 & Unbound on the AX88U itself and have a cleaner, single system. I can then get rid of the RPi (or use for for other stuff).

Few questions?
I would prefer to start from a clean install to isolate any issues.
So basic Asus-Merlin installed, 4GB USB attached, 2GB swap on USB configured.
Nothing else installed on Merlin. Router working fine - no issues.

1) What are the best steps to follow? Install Unbound and then PiHole or PiHole first and then Unbound?
2) How do I ensure that all PiHole logs/ databases are written to an external USB (with Swap); as I do not wish PiHole to clog up the router flash?
3) Any specific settings for Unbound and PiHole?

My router is 192.168.1.1 (and assume no Raspberry Pi for this particular setup)

Any help would be much appreciated...
 
AdguardHome on Router itself on usb 8gb
Router stats for further details:
RT-AC68U
scripts: file swap 2g (usb 8gb)
Firmware version: 384.17(latest Merlin)
Average memory usage: 43-48% if adblocker that supports ABP syntax - adguardhome(.102) (superior to host is smaller and lighter)
Average memory usage: 32-38% if adblocker that supports the legacy "hosts" syntax -adguardhome/piehole
cpu usage : low only around 1-3% on idle with adguardhome running

I personally don't recommend attempting this locally on the router. if you truly want to enjoy it, then you should run it from a virtual machine, or cloud based virtual machine, or on a rpi

Definitey agree. I run it on some old Pogoplug Pro's I had laying around and it works great.

Sorry for the late reply

1. Install pihole first will be best since you can have pihole running without unbound and later see if you can get pihole to point to the unbound address. Also I wrote about earlier issues with stubby when the router reboots see previous posts about this. Not sure how unbound will work when things reboot. At the very least you shouldn't have a problem with things running in general.
2. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure debian is installed on the flash drive. Just follow all the steps when installing debian ( Make sure you are doing step 1b VS 1a). Once debian is installed you will do every command inside the chroot. To get inside just type debian enter.
Note: Unbound should be installed outside of debian. In theory it could be inside debian but haven't played around with that at all.

See full guide for installing debian chroot here: https://hqt.ro/how-to-install-debian-stretch-arm/
3. Haven't tried unbound yet but would recommend the guide that pihole provides for you and also check the forums on piholes website to see what others recommend.
https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/unbound/

Actually try this script that someone created for unbound. Make sure local cache on the router is turned off. It isn't needed since pihole does that already.

Ideally yes it would. The goal of this project was more around the idea of "because I can" type philosophy. I hope that down the road it will be possible to make a script for all of this, but most likely that will only become a thing on newer devices that have kernel v4 (more compatibility and possible could get around needing debian chroot installed). Due to not having access with such a device it wont be possible for me to toy with that idea. Side note, I have noticed that someone did manage to make an install script for Adguard Home. I personally have had pihole up and running for sometime now with very little issues beyond getting things setup. That being said for most people I would not personally recommend this method. I just personally like pihole over the alternatives and like the idea of having things run all on one machine.

Hi Jack
could you please outline exact steps for re-installing the 4.4 source code? I have the Tar.gz package. I assume the
command to install Pihole :- curl -L https://install.pi-hole.net | bash is still valid?
Click to expand...


1. Install the Tar.gz for pihole v4.4 and unzip it.
2. once inside the pihole v4.4 directory you should be able to use the manual install command.

Now after pihole is installed you will see an FTL error. That is fine.
Code: 
sudo bash basic-install.sh

3. After that is all done type the curl command. This will install the latest pihole version.
Code: 
 curl -L https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
4. From there go back to the original install guide on the first page and follow the steps needed to get FTL up and running.
 
Thanks for this, I have couple pi4 sitting here

After installing Pi-hole onto my other 4gb model, I swear my internet feels more snappier, I can’t believe the difference, from running diverson on my router

So you all were able to install debian?
Do I need to to the mount thing thing on this page https://hqt.ro/how-to-install-debian-stretch-arm/ ?

Also if I eventually succeed how would like pihole on the router on separate ip?

I could still run
Code: 
curl -L https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Inside debian, but it ends with
Code: 
main: line 192: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory

debian issues
Code: 
admin@asusAX68U:/tmp/mnt/asusWrt/entware# debian start
Starting chroot'ed Debian services...
mount: mounting /dev on /tmp/mnt/sda1/entware/debian/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /tmp/mnt/sda1/entware/debian/proc failed: No such file or directory

looks like you need to modify the sda1 parts of your mount points to be asusWrt since that is the name of your Mount point.
