Description

Very good looking new alternative to Pi-Hole and Adguard Home. Been trying it out in Docker and thought it would be a great addition to the community scripts.

Due Diligence

• I have searched existing scripts and found no duplicates.
• I have searched existing discussions and found no duplicate requests.

Would be happy to see my project land in this repository, as I am already hosting GoAway via Proxmox and can see a good fit for it.

If you need anything, please ping me.

@pommee I like the app. Very clean. First impression is good. Is there a way to put clients into groups and block domains group wide?

[pommee]

Happy to hear.

No, there is no such functionality. However it's an interesting idea which I will explore in future versions.

[tremor021]

Thats a feature i like in Pi-Hole. Assigning clients into groups and then apply custom blocks for entire group. Very convinient to have

[tremor021]

I'll look into it. Seems easy enough. It always help when there are prebuilt binaries, so we don't have to build everything from source.

[tremor021]

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/main/ct/goaway.sh)"

[pommee]

Will take a look.

The LXC initally installs with 512MB of RAM which is low when you start importing lists.
I will probably have to increase it to 1GB because importing f.ex: https://github.com/fabriziosalmi/blacklists/releases/download/latest/blacklist.txt
spikes RAM usage to 1.5GB, then after import finishes it slowly lowers it back:

[pommee]

Probably a safe change as this is quite the expensive operation.
Future improvements will change the footprint of GoAway in certain areas, mainly as a last call before starting to work on support for multiple replicas.
But this should be good for now.

[pommee]

Spinning up a new LXC container with the script worked perfect for me.

[tremor021]

Yea, me and @MickLesk were testing the app a bit before releasing the script. If you can keep the footprint to be somewhat like pi-hole's one, that would be pretty awesome
