Trouble installing TIny Pilot

By Pi Hole @pihole
    2021-08-23 01:47:05.434Z

    I have a raspberry pi 4 with raspbian 10 installed. I tried downloading and installing tiny pilot on it from the instructions here: https://tinypilotkvm.com/blog/build-a-kvm-over-ip-under-100#how-to-build-your-own-tinypilot
    It appears to download and install, but after reboot, there is no tiny pilot. Browsing to http://raspberrypi just results in err_connection_refused. Here is the log from the installation. Am I missing something?

      Sorry about that. The install wasn't actually completing successfully. It failed at the end:

      This is issue #764, which is now fixed. Can you try running the install again?

          Tried the install again, but no change and the log looks the same:

            I'm unable to reproduce this. I just tried the same command on a fresh installation of Raspberry Pi OS Lite (2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite), and the installation succeeds.

              Hmmm...and just to verify, this is the correct link to download the install file from?

                That's the correct address.

                We just pushed an update this morning that should resolve this. Can you try the command one more time? Sorry for the hassle.
