Hello,
I'm trying to install PiHole on a Pi Zero (not W or 2W, just zero). I installed docker and ran the default docker-compose.yml on the pihole site (https://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/). After saving the file, I got the error "Illegal Instruction" when trying to run docker compose up -d. The alternate commands failed as well. It seems there's a version compatibility issue based on this forum post (https://forums.docker.com/t/illegal-ins ... 7/140264/6) but I dont think I uninstalled docker correctly to then pin my pi to an older version. This is my first time using a Pi so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
