Good that you checked resolve.conf. Using sed does not show if the search string is found. A visual check is the best.

sudo sed -i '/nameserver 127.0.0.1/,${s//nameserver 8.8.8.8/;b};$q1' /etc/resolv.conf && echo "Changed nameserver successfully." || echo "Changing nameserver failed."

Changing nameserver allowed both of my broken Piholes to update FTL, and resolved my problem: Thanks deHakkelaar!

Error: Unable to get latest release location from GitHub

connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Temporarily change nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf from 127.0.0.1 into 8.8.8.8 :

sudo sed -i 's/127.0.0.1/8.8.8.8/' /etc/resolv.conf

And run repair:

pihole -r
