On a hardwired ethernet connection. My balena cloud account shows it online, but when i try to connect via its ip ([http://ip.goes.here/admin](http://ip.goes.here/admin)) it times out. Also if i set my DNS to that of the raspberry pi, it also times out. Where do i look in the logs to see whats happening?

Hi, would you be able to re-enable support access for the device? It looks like it has expired.

Hey @thesuffering I took a look at the device, and it appears something is going wrong with the initialization, from the script `20-start.sh`.

Did you make any changes to this file before pushing to balenaCloud?

Hey @thesuffering, it looks like you’re trying to run this project on a Pi Zero or Pi 1, in the project guide it states that you need a `Raspberry Pi 2/3B/B+`. See here for another user that had the very same issue: [Pi-Hole Admin Page Not Loading](https://forums.balena.io/t/pi-hole-admin-page-not-loading/15414)

From the Pi Hole forums the Pi 1 Model B (what im using) is more than enough for Pi Hole. So it appears it must be BalenaOS is just too resource intensive for it with pi hole on top. Too bad, I really liked the cloud aspect of it and the relative ease of setup.

@thesuffering it isn’t about resources, more that the Pi-hole Docker image used for this project does not support ARMv6 (Pi 1 and Zero). See here: [https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/issues/245](https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole/issues/245)
