New install: No filtering/Web Dashboard reads NaN/FTL reads offline

The issue I am facing:
New install that initially went smoothly but finding several issues:

  1. Web dash loads but all of the colored banner blocks read NaN
  2. Status reads:
    Active-Green
    Load-RED
    Memory-Green
  3. Settings in web dash display: FTL information:
    The FTL service is offline!
  4. Ads NOT being filtered

Details about my system:
Android (Arm64) device, Debian V10 install with most recent PiHole install via Curl (Current)
Have also tried several other installs today with Ubuntu 18.04 with Curl and Clone-Same errors on them all.
Static set and SSH successful

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
Changed, nothing. These are brand new OS install's and the first thing I did was attempt Pihole install via the details above.
pihole status - [✓] FTL is listening on port 53
[✓] UDP (IPv4)
[✓] TCP (IPv4)
[✓] UDP (IPv6)
[✓] TCP (IPv6)

[✓] Pi-hole blocking is enabled

pihole status web - 53

I feel like I'm missing something obvious and just spinning my gears, I'd really appreciate any insight someone could offer. Thank you in advance.

Android is not a supported OS.

Furthermore, it would seem that OS virtualisation software on Android is not well equipped to host Pi-hole (maybe because it would require elevated rights and full network access, and Android's sandboxing model somehow interferes, but that would just be my guess).

As I recall it, similar reports here on our forum for running Pi-hole under Android have yet to find a successful conclusion.
In some cases, the reports involved a Pi-hole app downloaded from some kind of specialised store or software repository. In case you've been considering that approach: Those apps have not been created or endorsed by the Pi-hole team - the official ways to install Pi-hole on a supported OS can be found here.

Thanks for the reply,
Yes, the device's native OS is android but with a Linux server OS (Debian V10 or Ubuntu 18.04) running in a sandbox virtualization (where I am trying to have PiHole (run). The Pihole installation is obtained from the official site/distro. Your right about the elevated privileges, I did have to perform this via root in getting the sandbox application first installed. I figured Pihole would have been agnostic to the native OS as its just running on the Linux virtualization solely. SSH and VNC show full network access in the Linux OS, but you bring up a good point to dig deeper into. I have had previous sandboxes grant a fake* full network stack to virtual machines. In reality it used some sort or clone or bridge of generic network devices to patch it all together and not route things properly.
I'll root around in the previous posts a bit more and see if they shed any light.
I appreciate you taking a look at my issue. Thank you.
