Pihole Install Error [Fresh Ubuntu Install] - Check for existing repository in /etc/.pihole

Hi Team

I was following your YT video on the pihole install and I am stuck at install step. This is a fresh ubuntu updated install in a VM. Here’s what i get when i run the install with Method 1 and Method 2:

Pastebin

pihole_error - Pastebin.com

"Check for existing repository in /etc/.pihole"

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

I’ve been wracking my brain where am i going wrong?

The recommended command git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole is stuck and does’t move past.

We have not published a video. What is the URL of the video you used?

sorry, my bad, this was a post i posted first in to another forum (the mod had made a video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ib3o3OVIqI

OK. That is not our video, and it's two years out of date. But, it is also not the source of your problem. Please run the following command from the Pi (it's the verbose version of our installer) and post the output here in a reply. You don't need to use Pastebin (nor should you) - you can copy and paste the output into your reply and format it as "preformatted text" using the </> icon in the format bar.

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x

Ok, here you go, incoming!

pihole-pc@ubuntu:~$ curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x

Surprisingly![docker the docker pihole was smooth install. only issue was i couldn't get to figure out why the Server IP of my machine was different from the Server IP inside the pihole admin. I think docker creates a new bridged/NATed network of it own?

Machine IP/admin console was accessible via: 192.168.xx.x and pihole dashboard Server IP was showing 172.xx.
