I have a Pi-Hole instance running on a Raspberry Pi and one on a Proxmox Debian LXC container. I'm currently redesigning my homelab and was wondering if the Pi-Hole setup script is planned to support Alpine Linux.
I've searched GitHub, Discourse and looked around on search engines, but only could find rather old (v6 beta times or before) information. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
As v6 is now built on Alpine Linux for the docker image, I was hoping the setup script would come to support that as well.
Are there any plans for the setup script (curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash) to support Alpine Linux in the (near) future?
Yes, the code is currently being written and reviewed.
