I'm running the latest pihole/pihole image. It was working but now it does not. I tried blowing away and recreating my volumes

It just gets stuck there. Volume directories get created, but no files:

Can you post a copy of your compose yaml please?

looks like it just took 42 minutes to start PHP. Why so long? Its a pi 3? 117 degrees Farenheight. no load

It didn't take 42 minutes to start PHP, it took 42 minutes to check the local apt cache.

Are you running docker-compose up -V mutliple times without down? Do you now have a bunch of dead and zombie containers running?

You maybe stalling on networking operations inside the container root 242 223 0 05:01 ? 00:00:00 apt-get update based on your ps output.

You can see everything that is happening live in the docker logs if you add the environment variable PH_VERBOSE=1

Yes, I probably did exactly that. Thanks.
