What VPS provider are you using, and what OS is installed on the VPS. Not having Whiptail tells me that it's not a Debian derivative. We may be able to get it installed, but it might take some work...

There was someone on reddit who installed on a vps, had problems installing, and made a script to make installs on vps work. I've never actually looked into it, so disclaimer there... Link is on reddit post. https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/46934b/pihole_without_a_pi_on_a_do_vps/

Usning a Debian 8 (64Bit) vps with plenty of ram and space.

Well there is no eth0 for my vps , and /etc/network/interfaces have all network configuration.
And my vps has a static IP.

If you can get it installed, you can manually adjust the interface= value in /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf to use whatever interface you do have. Is it possible to install whiptail for the script to execute properly? Also, were you able to try the script in the link above?

if you install twintail it should fix it

run

ap-get install whiptail -y

should fix this -i had the same problem
