Setting up Pihole and Adguard fails

[Aviatorpaal]

Thanks for making these awesome scripts!

I encounter the following issue when running your script as root on Proxmox 7.2-11

`Creating a Pihole LXC using the above advanced settings
✓ Using local for Template Storage.
✓ Using local-lvm for Container Storage.
✓ Updated LXC Template List
✓ LXC Container 101 was successfully created.
✓ Started LXC Container

• Setting up Container OS ...bash: line 47: LANG: unbound variable`

I have tried several times reacreating the containers with both manual and advanced settings selected, no joy.

Run locale and share the output.

Example output:

root@proxmox:~# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
root@proxmox:~# 

To set locale, run dpkg-reconfigure locales in the Proxmox shell

This was my locale output:

LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

LANG= is the issue. To set locale, run dpkg-reconfigure locales in the Proxmox shell

[Aviatorpaal]

Thanks a lot for the response. I ran the command and reconfigured (via SSH, I didn´t know it mattered if I opened the shell directly from the Proxmox GUI) and the nothing changed. see output from my SSH session before and after setting the locale:

root@proxmox:# locale

After opening the shell from the Proxmox GUI I see the locale settings are correct and matching yours. Are there any other ways to solve this to run your awesome scripts via SSH?

[tteck]

What SSH are using? Putty?

[tteck]

Always best to use the Proxmox Shell.

[Aviatorpaal]

I am using the built in MacOS zsh. Locale gives me the following output on the client, prior to connecting:

LANG=""
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=

Got it. I have made some changes to my MacOS locale settings, as I had some undesirable behavior from it as an SSH client earlier. Your scripts work like magic when I went directly to the Proxmox web-GUI. Thanks!
