Help with installing PiHole on PostmarketOS

I am trying to get pihole with unbound installed on a PostmarketOS device (open rc init). I can’t seem to get this installed at all.

I tried using the bash installer, but that didn’t work. I tried using the Alpine repositories, but it didn’t work either.

Anyone with tips or resources on how to get this thing to work?

Another option is that instead of trying the bare metal install, get docker working: gist.github.com/…/d93549d85acbee94f37683fa6cbd626…

Then you can just use the pihole container.

Oh I’ve been at this for a while now. I tried that exact page you have suggested along with the information provided here: wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-pi-hole-and-unbound-…

The docker container is simply not composing and running into other errors that don’t make sense despite reading up about them.

I’m not a computer whiz, so any insight would be super helpful

The install script ceased being supported 3 years ago on Alpine. I think it was over handling of non-systemctl systems, but I can’t remember.

I used to run pihole on alpine containers and one say the install just wouldn’t update the FTL server. I switched to another DNS solution at that point.

Best suggestion is to run the docker container, as another user suggested here.
