Hello all, I’d like to start off by letting you all know I’m new to this world of Linux, balena and pihole but have a technical and computer background and am able to follow directions, typically. I wasn’t sure where exactly to stick this so thought I’d start in this Topic but if I belong elsewhere please feel free to let me know and I will move the discussion. Thank you in advance for any of yours time and assistance. It will be greatly appreciated Okay, so I am trying to install pihole using balenacloud (I think I said that correctly). I feel I have successfully followed the instructions but after completion my pihole is not working. thought I maybe did something wrong the 1st installation since I am new to all of this, so I blew it all out and started from scratch and the results were the same. In the terminal it keeps showing the following (see below) which I can tell is not right but don’t know the next steps to correct? I was following the instructions in the following link [https://www.balena.io/blog/deploy-network-wide-ad-blocking-with-pi-hole-and-a-raspberry-pi/](https://www.balena.io/blog/deploy-network-wide-ad-blocking-with-pi-hole-and-a-raspberry-pi/).

Hey @BIgLexLost welcome to the forum and thanks for trying the project! Could you share what device you’re using for the project? I would also recommend checking that all the environment variables have been set according to the readme on the project here: [https://github.com/klutchell/balena-pihole](https://github.com/klutchell/balena-pihole) I just ran a quick test on a device here and pushed the latest version of the project to a Pi 3 and it seemed to work OK; the benefit of doing projects like this is that they are (usually!) reproducible as everything is automated, so hopefully a simple fix for you. Just a note that in case you’re trying to use a Pi Zero, the project doesn’t support that device right now, but support is in development (see here: [https://github.com/klutchell/balena-pihole/pull/36](https://github.com/klutchell/balena-pihole/pull/36)) I hope this helps 🙂
