More than a year later, the PiHole continues to work fine, but the process for installing the Cloudflare DoH machinery has evolved.
(And, yes, it’s supposed to be DNS-over-HTTPS. So it goes.)
To forestall link rot, the key points:
cd /tmp ; wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/VdrWdbjqyF/cloudflared-stable-linux-arm.tgz
tar -xvzf cloudflared-stable-linux-arm.tgz
sudo cp cloudflared /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cloudflared
sudo cloudflared -v
sudo useradd -s /usr/sbin/nologin -r -M cloudflared
sudo nano /etc/default/cloudflared
----
CLOUDFLARED_OPTS=--port 5053 --upstream https://1.1.1.1/dns-query --upstream https://1.0.0.1/dns-query
----
sudo chown cloudflared:cloudflared /etc/default/cloudflared
sudo chown cloudflared:cloudflared /usr/local/bin/cloudflared
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/cloudflared.service
----

sudo systemctl enable cloudflared
sudo systemctl start cloudflared
sudo systemctl status cloudflaredThen aim PiHole’s DNS at 127.0.0.1#5053. It used to be on port #54, for whatever that’s worth.
Verify it at https://1.1.1.1/help, which should tell you DoH is in full effect.
To update the daemon, which I probably won’t remember:
wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/VdrWdbjqyF/cloudflared-stable-linux-arm.tgz
tar -xvzf cloudflared-stable-linux-arm.tgz
sudo systemctl stop cloudflared
sudo cp ./cloudflared /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cloudflared
sudo systemctl start cloudflared
cloudflared -v
sudo systemctl status cloudflaredAnd then It Just Works … again!
