Detecting remote Pi-hole installationLoad key - Permission denied #425

Hi there

Linux Newbie here - please bare with me

  • I have a pihole running on my proxmox as a docker container (10.1.1.3)
  • I have a second pihole running on a RPi also as a docker container (10.1.1.4)
  • I want to use Gravity Sync to sync from 10.1.1.3 to 10.1.1.4

Things I've done:

  • Created a dedicated Gravity Sync with sudoless permissions on each of the piholes
  • I ran the Gravity sync install script on each pihole initially with a different sudo account (don't ask why)
  • doing a pull from 10.1.1.4 to 10.1.1.3 works
  • doing a push from 10.1.1.3 to 10.1.1.4 always gives me "Detecting remote Pi-hole installationLoad key "/etc/gravity-sync/gravity-sync.rsa": Permission denied"
  • It also asks me for a remote password which I have tripled checked I have entered correctly however it doesn't recognise it and keeps prompting for a password
  • To verify the password I have logged in with the dedicated gravity account successfully plus I made the it has sudo without having to enter the password

I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what it is. Can you please help?

Thanks

Run the command recommended on the install page. Also make sure you clear out any configurations you performed (e.g. remove /etc/gravity-sync and /usr/local/bin/gravity-sync before running the install script. I ran into this when I originally ran the install under root, it failed, then decided to run it under my non-root account. The files remaining did not have permissions to be written/overwritten since they were originally run as root.

Thanks so much @traxeon and sorry about the late reply. I removed Gravity Sync completely and used the standard script on the site to reinstall. When I now do a compare from 10.1.1.3 (primary) it works, however when I do the same from 10.1.1.4 (secondary) I get “ unable to validate configuration folder for Pi-hole” on the primary. Im doing both compares as the non-root account. What am I missing?
