Did you tried to restart the container? Looks like it was shutdown automatically as no admin was created

Did you tried to reinstall the container. There is no DietPi magic behind. We simply start the container. Probably it need to be reported upstream if there is an issue on the container itself.

Same here. Brand new installation. Only OpenSSH, Docker installed before installing Portainer. v8.14 x86 PC VMware BIOS or UEFI. Always the same no matter how many times I tried in the past week.

@maya95 your issue seems to be completly different. Looks like a DNS issue as you are not able to resolve `registry-1.docker.io`

You could try to pull the image directly.

```auto
docker pull portainer/portainer-ce:latest

```

There is no issue running nslookup for [registry-1.docker.io](http://registry-1.docker.io)  
Why wouldn’t it work?

```auto

I don’t know but this is what your error messages is telling. Did you tried

```auto

Do you have anything else running on the RPi? Pihole? Unbound?

its a Native PC and not an RPi. On x86 Docker has some challenges with missing Apparmor tool. Something Docker guys are aware and hopefully gonna change in future. As workaround you can install Apparmor.

> Pihole? Unbound?

There should be no relation between the issue to start container on x86 and local DNS server tools.

Yep. It’s AppArmor causing the problem. Although I did not see AppArmor error message and the error message always was “dial tcp: lookup [registry-1.docker.io](http://registry-1.docker.io) on xx.xx.xx.xx:53: │  
│ no such host.”

I tried to use different DNS settings (Google, Cloudflare, Pi-Hole, Technitium) or use a real PC yet nothing worked.

I deleted the DietPi VM and redid the Docker & Portainer installation

Found that not only I have to install apparmor then disable it, I still have to change default DNS that’s issued by router DHCP (which usually will forward to ISP’s DNS) to one of the public DNS, otherwise the Portainer installation will still fail.

There are tons of name resolution issue postings all over the internet for Docker image pulls for different reasons.

You can install pihole and unbound…then point all your DHCP addresses issued to that machine (wether bare metal or docker)…and it will resolve DNS thru your network…
