Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking?

perishthethought@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 66 points –

Hey folks, I just realized my pihole server, running on a Ras Pi 3 needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I've seen many mentions of AdGuard DNS here though. What's your thinking on which is better now?

We're a small family, looking for a basic ad blocking, set it and forget it, solution.

EDIT: I'd prefer the software be open source.

With so many people complaining about installing/upgrading pihole... Does no-one else use Docker for pihole?

I did, but still encountered issues with the databases going read-only meaning I couldn't whitelist without going into the container and chown/chmodding them before restarting it.

Yeah the issues are literally why containers are useful.
