 +Update: I no longer use Beaglebone blacks for the piholes as they became too slow around Trixie. I've retained this tutorial, however, both to document pihole setup generally and/or in case I eventually get a newer Beaglebone to tinker with. At present, I use virtualized piholes.
  
 This tutorial is for setting up a vanilla pihole instance on the Beagle Bone Black using a stripped down/clean Debian OS.  The first step is to update/upgrade, then remove the files in /opt/ which are not required, and lastly to remove the software that will conflict with the pihole software and that is installed by default by BBB.  (Do not remove anything starting with bb- as that is firmware needed for the device to work properly - believe me, I have tried.)  Save removal of connman for after pihole installation takes over DNS.  Here is what I do in order: This tutorial is for setting up a vanilla pihole instance on the Beagle Bone Black using a stripped down/clean Debian OS.  The first step is to update/upgrade, then remove the files in /opt/ which are not required, and lastly to remove the software that will conflict with the pihole software and that is installed by default by BBB.  (Do not remove anything starting with bb- as that is firmware needed for the device to work properly - believe me, I have tried.)  Save removal of connman for after pihole installation takes over DNS.  Here is what I do in order:

 Replace 6, 192.168.11.20 with your pihole's LAN address.  In my case, I instruct my router to issue a static local ip to the device (which pihole also recommends).  Once you complete this last step, restart the router.  Then, restart all of the clients on the LAN. Replace 6, 192.168.11.20 with your pihole's LAN address.  In my case, I instruct my router to issue a static local ip to the device (which pihole also recommends).  Once you complete this last step, restart the router.  Then, restart all of the clients on the LAN.
