Pi-Hole not downloading adlists

Expected Behaviour:

Pi-hole should download adlists as I add them through the adlist interface.

OS: Unraid
Container: https://hub.docker.com/r/flippinturt/pihole-dot-doh/
CPU: Ryzen 2400G

Actual Behaviour:

Pi-hole is not downloading adlists. The entries are added to the group management list, but they're pinned with a grey question mark instead of a green tick. My "Domains on blocklist" counter does not increase, and clicking the grey question mark reveals the message " List was not downloaded so far"

Debug Token:

Moderator edit: explicit debug log removed

What is the full output of pihole -g -f

Not related to your problem, but noted in your debug log. None of these entries in your custom.list (local DNS records) are valid. The local dns records are for domains only. It looks like you mistakenly
added adlists here rather than in the adlists section under Group Management.

Rather than post the logs, I might as well just mark this as solving the issue. I didn't realize there was a way to manually update the lists, and that it only automatically updates on sunday with a cron script. Nevertheless, thanks.

And yeah, I was just trying random things to troubleshoot.
