gravity-sync push hangs at pushing the local gravity database

[mytechguyri]

Fresh install of Gravity-Sync, first run of gravity-sync push Primary instance is running on a Raspberry Pi Zero running Raspberry Pi OS 11 bullseye secondary instance is running on an x86-64 PC running Debian bookworm I have done gravity-sync purge on both machines and started with a completely fresh install

System just hangs at this point and eventually times out

attempting to run gravity-sync pull on the secondary instance gives similar results

and gravity-sync hangs at this point again, and eventually times out. There doesn't seem to be any logging enabled in gravity-sync, so I can't tell for certain, but I expect rsync is failing somehow

I can repeat the same behavior. I have set up 2 fresh Debian 11 VMs, installed the latest Pihole(Today Pi-hole [v5.14.2], FTL [v5.19.2]and Web Interface [v5.17]) and latest Gravity sync (4.0.4). I have tried push and pull but non of both methods worked for me.

Effective July 26, 2024, this project has been retired. Thank you for your use and enthusiasm for a project that began as a few lines of bash in a Slack channel and envolved into something far more complex, and used by many thousands of Pi-hole enthusiasts over the last four years.
