Trouble with Pi-hole Installation on Raspberry Pi

General
1

Hello

I am facing some issues with installing Pi-hole on my Raspberry Pi and need some help .
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running the latest version of Raspbian. I followed the installation instructions for Pi-hole, but I am facing issues during the setup process.

After running the installation script, I am getting errors related to dependency installation or DNS configuration. I have referred Installation - Pi-hole documentation splunk resource but I am not able to resolve the issue.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
gregbowers

FWIW ...
If by "latest version" you mean Bookworm, then I too have found there was issues running Pi-hole smoothly on my Raspberry Pi's (3B, 3B+, 4B, 0W, & 02W models). When I reverted back to Bullseye, I no longer had any issues. I haven't had an opportunity to determine what is causing the conflicts, but I thought I'd, at least, offer what I have found to "resolve" it.

Interesting. I have bookworm running on a 4B, 3A+,ZeroW,ZeroW2 and have had no issues with any of them.

Once the OS is installed are running a sudo apt update && sudo apt ugrade before running the Pihole script?

Specifics of the errors would be helpful. Please post the complete output of the install command.

I have several instances of Bookworm running Pi-hole, with no issues.

Thanks. The issue turned out not to be directly related to Pi-hole, but with Bookworm ... at least, my understanding of some of the underlying changes it brought about. Specifically, I have been modifying the dhcpcd.conf file to configure static IP addresses for my RPis. I had a bit of a learning curve to find out that file was effectively replaced with the dhclient.conf one ... with a different naming convention for assigning those addresses. Although I know I could have assigned fixed addresses from my UniFi gateway, I prefer to do so at the client. So apologies as my post appeared to be blaming Pi-hole for my "Doh!" moment.
