I use Devuan for everything.
The *only* exception (for the time being) is [clonezilla-live] which
runs on Debian.

Actually, Devuan, which uses [sysvinit], is not a supported OS.
You have to update using this:

[code]
# PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -r
[/code]

But I *have* received support from them.
And quite comprehensive at that.
They were very helpful.

See here:

Jury is still out as to what exactly went on (more research needed on
my behalf) but the immediate problem was solved.

Kudos to those chaps!

Thanks for your input.

Best,
