I just used the helper script to install an instance of Pi-hole, and it seems to be working for me. When I go to the terminal, I can use the 'pihole' command

And the webinterface is also working:

Could you try recreating a new LXC or send some screenshots of the exact issue you're facing?

Hi Guys,

so I tried it again with the following script:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/pihole.sh)"

Same result. Here are the screenshots of the output from the script and the lxc-console (I was using the console via webgui of proxmox) that shows that there is no pihole command. The lxc itself is up an running and can be reached via icmp.

Strange that it worked for you guys. My proxmox host is running on 8.3.5

You have some DNS issue probably. Your installation isn't going as it should. Do you use any adblock or something?

try /usr/local/bin/pihole

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

maybe its your disabling of something of the options. (ssh etc.)

@icep85 commented on GitHub (Mar 24, 2025):

can you tell me which dns adress should cause the issue? so i can check if name resolution is working correctly. All other community-scripts I used, where working fine.

Or maybe where I can check the pihole-install-script? to see where an error occurs?

8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

the install script will be crawled by build.func

ok so the both google dns servers you mentioned can be reached by the proxmox host.

How can I check at which step the script fails and why?

its not the proxmox host, after you execute the script and the container are build, the lxc himself crawl the install.func.
Therefore your Network at this moment in the lxc failed

we cant help you. its an simple bash call and work for everyone expect you. You need to do more research. It is definitely not a script issue.

Hi MickLesk,

I understand that this could be a issue not related to the script. But as I dont have any insights on how the script get executed a little hint on where to digg deeper and do a research would be helpful. At least a more detailled output from the script would be nice, as you see the script itself tells "completed successfully" where it clearly did not. But there is no clear error handling or loggin for me to digg deeper.

I'm not really sure what else you want us to say? Your network is interfeering with calling of the install.func script which is hosted on github.

The part that does the installing of the app into LXC container is not starting, which means that you have something on your network thats preventing that. Either adblock, faulty setting or w/e it is.

You call the ct.sh -> this one call the build.func and the build.func call the create_lxc.func (create container - done), after this install.func and the install\ct-install.sh. And The install.func or install\ct-install.sh cannot be reached in your case
