Hi All,
New to this forum, please forgive me for any mistakes. I was trying to install pihole, but no luck. It keeps failing on this step:
curl -sSL --fail https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl/releases/latest/download/pihole-FTL-linux-x86_64 -o pihole-FTL-linux-x86_64
I updated all the packages beforehand as well.
I updated the nameserver, resolved.conf, pointed it to a public DNS, no luck.
Any help would be great. Thank you!
This will temporarily reset the nameserver on the Pi to bypass Pi-Hole DNS.
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
edit nameserver 127.0.0.1 to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit
Then we will run the verbose version of the installer. Please post the output of the following, if Pi-hole fails to install.
Edited command:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x
I've tried this before too, with no luck, but here it is again:
In the resolv.conf, the only thing that I've noticed is the options:
nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0
Updated the nameserver to 1.1.1.1 and ran the verbose version and it always fails here: [i] Downloading and Installing FTL...
It just haults and stops working at the step above.

That appears to be the output of the installer without the verbose option.
This is the output it's giving me with the -x as well, not sure why it's doing that.
Pardon me, that was my error. I omitted the required sudo. Run this instead:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x
My DNS can also resolve to github and I can download the file directly too, odd...
Try download that file to your home folder ~ for diagnosing and post output here:
cd ~
curl -sSL --fail https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl/releases/latest/download/pihole-FTL-linux-x86_64 -o pihole-FTL-linux-x86_64
EDIT: Disk full maybe ?
df -h
No issues with disk, more than enough:
When I ran that command, it halted the system.
Let's check a few things with your /tmp folder, to see if there are any restrictions:
mount | grep "/tmp"
grep tmp /etc/fstab
Also, post the output of this command:
curl -sSL --fail https://github.com/pi-hole/ftl/releases/latest/download/pihole-FTL-linux-x86_64
I ran the above commands and it accepted it and there was no output for the other command, so this time it didn't halt the system.
I spoke too soon, I did a restore prior to the pihole failed install and tried the commands and then the "cur -sSL..." and it halted the system when I ran the command.
