Here's an InkyPi plugin that gives you a quick view of your Pi-hole DNS and blocking stats in a single dashboard-style screen.

You can install it using the InkyPi plugin installer:

inkypi plugin install pihole https://github.com/shadal18/inkypi-pihole

Shows live DNS query counts from Pi-hole
Displays blocked query totals and block percentage
Shows Pi-hole blocking status and instance URL
Displays total domains loaded on the blocklist
Optional top clients display
Optional recent query activity display
Optional 24‑hour traffic strip chart
Optional top destinations and upstream resolver panel
Layout targeted at quick “is everything healthy and how much is being blocked?” visibility
Supports color tuning for 6‑color Waveshare displays

The plugin connects to your Pi-hole instance and uses its API to build a single dashboard-style status screen for your InkyPi display.

It is focused on quick “how busy is DNS and how much is being blocked?” visibility rather than full Pi-hole configuration or gravity list management.

The settings page lets you configure:

Uses the Pi-hole HTTP API as the data source (v6+ endpoints, with legacy fallbacks where available)
Optional sections depend on what your Pi-hole version exposes (for example, some stats may be missing on older releases)
Privacy options are available if the display is in a shared or public area
