Hi, your problem is likely right here:

SELinux: active

Add this Magisk module or install SELinuxModeChanger then set SELinux to Permissive or Disabled.

Uninstall the app, re-install and re-deploy Raspbian and then see how things look.

If SELinux is out of the way and you still have issues, change the install target (Default is ./rasbian) to /data/local/raspbian-root

If you see any errors duing the deployment step, please take a screenshot and send it along.

from pi-hole-for-android.

I see another issue:

In the Pi Deploy container options the image URL is:
https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Pi-hole-for-Android/releases/download/v3.0.2/raspbian.tgz

Change this to:
https://github.com/DesktopECHO/linuxdeploy-images/releases/download/v1.0/raspbian64.tgz

...and redeploy.

I suspect your device is ARM64 only (like Apple Silicon and some other higher-end ARM processors) so this 64-bit Debian image should work for you.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Not working tried both steps.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Hi there,
It does not look like you've deployed the image after changing the install target to /data/local/raspbian-root

Start fresh, performing the following steps:

• Uninstall APK
• Reboot
• Reinstall APK
• Set install inage to use 64-bit Raspbian
• Deploy Raspbian image

I don't think you'll need to change the install target -- Only follow the steps above.
If it fails, post any useful info (as you've been doing)

from pi-hole-for-android.

Thanks For Reply man but still. It didn't resolve the issue.

Might be this error.

from pi-hole-for-android.

This indicated Pi-hole was running:

Also, this indicates SELinux is still enabled:

Make sure the instance is not running (Hit STOP) before you try to START it.

The screenshots are helpful but they look like they are out of sequence, makes it difficult to know what's happening.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Yeah my bad they are out of sequence.

from pi-hole-for-android.

If you set Pi Deploy to start automatically at boot time, disable that option.

• Reboot your device
• Open Pi Deploy
• Start Raspbian. Post the output.

Same Error So Far

from pi-hole-for-android.

My problem is the same as the little fella

This is far too little information to claim it's the same problkem.

Please create a new issue with info about your device model, and output from Options->Status

from pi-hole-for-android.

Same Error So Far

We're going in ciricles here. I can't help if you don't do as I ask.

If you set Pi Deploy to start automatically at boot time, disable that option.

• Reboot your device
• Open Pi Deploy
• Start Raspbian. Post the output.

If any of this is unclear, please ask for clarification.

from pi-hole-for-android.

By default Pi deploy is disabled from automatically boot. And here I'm putting every screenshot in sequencing order.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Thanks for this info.

Once you got to this point you are good to go - Pi-hole is running.

The only reason you're seeing the failure messages afterwards is because the services are already running and listening on the ports. From your screenshot:

Open a browser and go to:
http://192.168.0.92/admin

Do you see the Pi-hole admin login page, and can you login using the password shown above from your screenshot?

You should also be able to SSH and/or RDP into your phone, username android with the same password above for Pi-hole login.

503 Service Not available

from pi-hole-for-android.

Hmm that's unexepcted.

Can you press STOP, wait a minute for the processes to halt, then press START again? Does Pi-hole show as running? Still getting the 503 error in your browser?

To troubleshoot further, can you ssh into the phone from another computer on your home network?
ssh [email protected]

Or if you have a Windows box, open Remote Desktop Connecton and enter IP 192.168.0.92

from pi-hole-for-android.

After Starting and again starting it worked.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Ok, if you want you can enable the option to autostart Pi-hole at boot.
You may also need to enable "Lock Screen" and "Wake Lock" in Settings so Android doesn't try to kill idle processes.

Reboot your device and wait 2 minutes for all the services to start.

Check the following:

• Login to Pi-hole Web interface
• Login via SSH

If you can do all of the above then everything is fully working and you are good to go.

from pi-hole-for-android.

Okay Tried it and yeah it's running good so far..
Btw is it due Arm64 structure? Had problem with load balancing it should be lower than 1

from pi-hole-for-android.

High load averages are normal on many Android devices… see here or search online.
