Need Debian Jessie in available LXC containers

Trying to install pi-hole, and it fails if I use Debian Stretch or Buster. Jessie was the last distro that worked. Can it be restored to the list for the available repositories, or how can I download it manually?

I was facing the same issue and solved it by using a LXC container with the most recent version of Ubuntu.

Thanks, which specific version of Ubuntu did you go with? I am having trouble with Ubuntu as well, so I am not sure if the issue is with the new (4.1) version of pi-hole. I cannot get the pi-hole installer script to finish. It either drops back to a command prompt with no errors, or it calls out an error on a specific line of the script.

I went for Xenial. But the version of PiHole I used was 4.0. The problem might be related to version of PiHole as you are suggesting.

Is there an option to forcibly install version 4.0?

Based on your requests, we’ll consider to add back Debian Jessie.

We have added it back, it will appear for you in a few hours as it is independent of releasing a new version of Turris OS.

Just ran this:

root@turris:~# lxc-create -t download -n pi-hole
