## Overview
A plugin allowing for importing devices from DHCP.leases files.
### Usage
- Specify full paths of all `dhcp.leases` files you want to import and watch in the `DHCPLSS_paths_to_check`setting.
- Map the paths specified in the `DHCPLSS_paths_to_check`setting in your `docker-compose.yml` file.
- If you are using pihole or dnsmasq dhcp.leases, include `pihole` or `dnsmasq` into the mapping path respectively, check the below example for details
#### Example:
`docker-compose.yml` excerpt:
```yaml
volumes:
...
# mapping different dhcp.leases files
- /first/location/dhcp.leases:/mnt/dhcp1.leases
- /second/location/dhcp.leases:/mnt/dhcp2.leases
- /third/location/dhcp.leases:/etc/pihole/dhcp.leases # a pihole specific dhcp.leases file
- /fourth/location/dhcp.leases:/etc/dnsmasq/dhcp.leases # a dnsmasq specific dhcp.leases file
...
```
The `DHCPLSS_paths_to_check` setting should then contain the following:
```python
DHCPLSS_paths_to_check = ['/mnt/dhcp1.leases','/mnt/dhcp2.leases','/etc/pihole/dhcp.leases','/etc/dnsmasq/dhcp.leases']
```
### Notes
No specific configuration is needed. This plugin supports `dhcp.leases` file(s) in the following formats:
1. PiHole
2. Dnsmasq
3. Generic format
#### pihole format
