Another option is that instead of trying the bare metal install, get docker working: https://gist.github.com/manoedinata/d93549d85acbee94f37683fa6cbd626e
Then you can just use the pihole container.

Oh I've been at this for a while now. I tried that exact page you have suggested along with the information provided here: https://www.wundertech.net/how-to-set-up-pi-hole-and-unbound-on-docker/
The docker container is simply not composing and running into other errors that don't make sense despite reading up about them.
I'm not a computer whiz, so any insight would be super helpful
The install script ceased being supported 3 years ago on Alpine. I think it was over handling of non-systemctl systems, but I can't remember.
I used to run pihole on alpine containers and one say the install just wouldn't update the FTL server. I switched to another DNS solution at that point.
Best suggestion is to run the docker container, as another user suggested here.
