Mapping to custom.list for Pi-Hole 5.0

[shanelord01]

I've adjusted the python-hosts "hosts.py" on line 203 & 211 from:

"{0}\t{1}\n".format(
to
"{0} {1}\n".format(

I then use sudo python /home/pi/client-mapping.py -f /etc/pihole/custom.list -c ControllerIP -u Username -p Password

to update the custom.list file instead of the /etc/hosts file. If needed I can see and edit in the Web UI now (although any changes will get overwritten upon each cron job).

Not sure if there is a way to update the main client-mapping.py script to adjust for a space instead of a tab, rather than having to edit the hosts.py

Thanks,
Shane.
