update issue

[technicalpyro]

this may be more of a server(VPS) side issue but wanted to report it either way
potentially the hive mind can help me sort it out

Updated this morning on my pi ran flawlessly.
went to do the same on my VPS as i like to use it to test with as well and encountered the following

::: Checking for updates...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Connection refused
::: Pi-hole Core:   up to date
::: FTL:            update available
:::
::: FTL out of date
:::
::: Downloading latest version of FTL...
:::  Detected x86_64 architecture
:::  Installing FTL... failed (error in getting latest release location from GitHub)

i dont have anything in the iptables on the VPS as the only thing connecting it me on VPN or on a randomized ssh port
i am pretty sure its something on the datacenter side as my home update ran without a hitchj or wondering if there is a more verbose pihole -up i can run to see more of whats going on

What is the output of curl https://api.github.com/rate_limit ?

root@technicalpyro:~# curl https://api.github.com/rate_limit
curl: (7) Failed to connect to api.github.com port 443: Connection refused

i have submitted a ticket with my host as well trying to attack this from all angles

Try also here and here

Failed to connect to api.github.com port 443: Connection refused

Possibilities:

1. You are operating a proxy and have some misconfiguration
2. You have a firewall that blocks 443 to GitHub
3. GitHub blocks your IP (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently)

i don't have any proxies setup so i think at this point i am waiting on HostUS to get back to me "le sigh"

update it is one hundred percent a https issue as attempting to curl -v http://github.com results in success .... following up with my host thanks guys

turns out github was listed in a couple lists ... caused the failures
