Updating Pi-hole Docker container on VPS failed

[NQuebec]

Today I had the exact same behaviour while installing pihole with docker on a Ubuntu 24.04.1 VPS (Oracle).

I followed the instructions from Github here and asked for the image: pihole/pihole:latest.

The docker compose up -d completed successfully however docker logs pihole shows:

 Pi-hole version is v5.18.3 (Latest: v6.0.1)
  web version is v5.21 (Latest: v6.0)
  FTL version is v5.25.2 (Latest: v6.0)
  Container tag is: 2024.07.0

and I saw other messages about service lighttpd starting (I know it doesn't exist anymore in V6.0).

Erasing pihole's docker container and image and re-running docker compose doesn't fix it.

Any clue? Thank you.

I've split your post into a new topic, as upgrading a Pi-hole container is not done via pihole -up as per the other thread, and would not require you to update your OS, as the Pi-hole container by definition always comes with a supported OS.

I trust you did also read Pi-hole's Docker Upgrading from v5.x - Pi-hole documentation?

What's the output of:

docker image ls pihole/pihole

docker ps --filter expose=53

Oups! I just realized that I had deleted the previous docker container but not the image... I removed the image and everything works fine now.

Thank you for answering me.
