FTL not installed & Unable to get latest release from GitHub

Yesterday I had to reinstall my Pi, so I installed Pihole again. I entered the curl line (without sudo; but that worked before).

Expected Behaviour:

I had hoped that it all worked.

Actual Behaviour:

The web interfaces says connection lost to api. The DNS service is not running and FTL is red (i can't see the actual text).

pihole -r results in:

  [i] Installing blocking page...

I changed the DNS server on my router back to ISP default, rebooted the Pi but there is some trouble connecting I guess... although, I am here posting this

Reset the name server on the Pi to an upstream provider, and then run a repair.

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Change 127.0.0.1 to 1.1.1.1 (or your preferred commercial DNS server), save and exit

pihole -r and select repair
