AdGuardHome is far better than PiHole. It's a single Go binary and I think UI is better. It won't break if you upgrade your system. You don't need docker or LAMP stack. Just pull binary and run it. It will even generate systemd service file for you if you need.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y ago> You don't need docker or LAMP stack. Just pull binary and run it. It's almost like there's a lot of needless overhead in modern software or something.
- NegativeLatency 4y agoAgreed, I recently migrated from pihole to adguard and the reliability and general ease of use has been much better
- pandemic_region 4y agoAgreed, the fact that it's a single binary made me switch from pi-hole. I don't need to run an extra device now, AdGuard runs directly on my edgerouter-x.
- aimor 4y agoThanks for the recommendation. I love my pihole, except for the once or twice a year it manages to break itself and lock up my headless pi.
- anthropodie 4y agoThis is exactly the reason why I was looking for an alternative and found AGH.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoThey ship a distroless container image too. Fast and easy and just works. I switched after getting tired of babysitting PiHole.
- MehdiHK 4y agoCame here to write about AdGuardHome too. I was PiHole user until I found this. So much polished, so much better. This folks deserve more publicity.
- unethical_ban 4y agoInteresting, I may try it. I do have proxmox at home already, so spinning up a container for PiHole and pivpn was super easy. But it looks like AGH supports certain features PiHole does not.
- NexRebular 4y agoAnd the best news is that it seems to run on non-linux platforms as well.
- voidee 4y agoAgreed! I switched to a Gli.net Flint router which has AdGuard built in. It’s incredibly simple to setup compared to a separate pi-hole and easy to edit a custom Allow/Block list. No hesitation in recommending this to non-technical people too.
- t0bia_s 4y agoAdGuard is a Russian company with headquarters in Cyprus since 2014. Cyprus hasn't a good reputation for business.

- anthropodie 4y agoJust because it's Russian does not mean it's bad. Jetbrains is also Russian.
- car 4y agoWow, was debugging a dockerized Pi-Hole when I saw this comment. Now I'm running AdGuardHome on an EdgeRouter-POE, very slick install via script! Happy to move on from constantly handholding Pi-Hole. I had to move it from a Raspberry Pi to an Intel NUC earlier, since the raspi SD-card had crapped out. Yay for efficient programming! Edit: Also great to see that AGH has secure DNS built in. My Pi-Hole solution required cloudflared [0] for that.

- pseudoramble 4y agoThis is cool. I was planning on setting up a PiHole soon, but maybe I'll try this instead. Are there any downsides you've noticed? Also, I'm cool with a paid product, but it looks like this one is open source? I know they have paid products, but I can't figure out if it relates to this at all?
- ct0 4y agoCheck out nextdns if you don't want to host your own.
- doetoe 4y agoThat looks interesting. I'm using a pi-hole now, but it seems that AdGuardHome can be installed directly on my (OpenWrt) router. Does anyone here have experience with that?
- anthropodie 4y agoYes you can if you have enough memory.
