Adguard Home Installed on Docker
youtu.beBoth AdGuard Home and Pi-hole are free and open source, and both do pretty well much the same as far as functionality goes. They can also both be installed natively or as a docker container image, and will run on Raspberry Pi’s or larger hardware.
The differences really come with AdGuard Home’s UI looking a touch more modern and less cluttered, and supposedly AdGuard Home has additional functionality already included, where that must be installed additionally for Pi-hole.
So I managed to get up and running quite quickly with AdGuard Home by following DB Tech’s video. One thing that tripped me up was that the container would not start, and reported a clash on port 53 (the DNS port). But one of the commenters on the video, Wesley O’Brien, suggested a solution which worked perfectly for me. I set my router’s DHCP server to provide the IP of my AdGuard Home server as the DNS, and now all devices throughout the home network are using it. Speed tests and website page loading appears unaffected (not slower, anyway).

What I was saying is that I only use my desktop to browse internet, the app Portmaster also blocks trackers and everything AdBlock or PiHole do so if I go outside with my laptop it still works, on Android the same thing, if I go on phone data this AdBlock or PiHole will not work, I can still use other solutions, but I don’t really do anything on phone to care about trackers or ads, I neither have Google on my android.
So if I setup this DNS service on my own house LAN just for a desktop device… my Phone or Laptop which I only use when I’m outside will still have no protection, so I better have my own blocker on my localhost instead of my LAN and no need to run extra servers at home for just a desktop.
And I think if I wanted to do it, I would use a OpenWrt package to run it on my own router instead of a docker service. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/ad-blocking
