I am getting this error when installing Pi Hole on a fresh copy of Rasbian on a Raspberry Pi 2. Could not update local repository. Contact support. Below is what is displayed during the installation: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash .;;,. .ccccc:,. :cc…

[image] Why does the Pi-hole installer produce the error "Unable to complete update, contact Pi-hole'? FAQs If you try to install or update Pi-hole but run into problems, you may see a message such as: [✓] Check for existing repository in /var/www/html/admin […

I am getting this error but didn't make any changes... Wouldn't know how to make a change...

What is the output of this command? sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole

I also could not update my pihole today and so I followed this post and am providing the command output from the git clone command. Let me know if there are other troubleshooting steps I can help with pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole …

You do not have the same issue, because the original issue is on a fresh install and you are updating. Please make a new topic.

This solved the problem for me. However I had to do sudo git remote prune origin due to conflicting branches.

I had the same error. Then I realized during the install/setup I left it set to ethernet, but I was only using wifi on the pi. Reran the install/setup, selected wifi, and got past this error.

I had the same error when trying to install for the first time on an Octopi distro. On this distro by default it blocks running git as root. Trying to do so will display the command needed to enable this, fixing the issue for me.

I was using octopi and had the same issue. I ran [image] Mcat12: sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole which suggested i rm /etc/bin/git to run as root

I encountered this because my git was configured to use SSH instead of HTTPS for GitHub (common if you use Go modules). To verify this is your problem, you will see this: $ sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)…
