piHole Sync (pull) won't work (I use cloud flared as upstream dns)

[tardar]

Hi guys,

i set up gravity-sync after watching the video from TechnoTim.
Great stuff, but it isn't working for me :(

I've setup both pinholes with a cloud flared dns with a custom upstream dns.
Maybe this is a problem?

Here are some infos: (logs aren't generated)

The export of the pull is like this:

So it isn't working for me at the moment.
Hope we can get this working, I like this project so much :)

Hi @tardar
I would suggest having a quick read of the wiki page to see if there's any steps you may have missed, especially under "Primary Pi-Hole".
https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync/wiki/Installing
If you believe that you have done this all correctly, check that you have rsync installed on your Primary Pi-Hole machine (That's as simple as executing which rsync and you'll either get a path returned, or nothing).

Cheers.
