AdGuard Home in Docker

Network-wide DNS ad blocker. All devices on the network use this as their DNS server, blocking ads and trackers at the DNS level.

adguardhome:
  image: adguard/adguardhome:latest
  container_name: adguardhome
  restart: unless-stopped
  ports:
    - 53:53/udp
    - 53:53/tcp
    - 80:80/tcp
    - 3000:3000/tcp
  volumes:
    - /app-config/adguardhome/conf:/opt/adguardhome/conf
    - /app-config/adguardhome/work:/opt/adguardhome/work

• Setup wizard (first run): http://homelab.internal:3000
• Admin panel (after setup): http://homelab.internal

• 53 TCP/UDP -- DNS server. This is where all network devices send their DNS queries.
• 80 -- Admin web interface
• 3000 -- Initial setup wizard (also kept open for alternative access)

• Upstream DNS: 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
• Fallback DNS: 1.0.0.1 (Cloudflare)

Removed the default blocklist. Using Hagezi lists instead:

• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/pro.txt
• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/tif.txt

• homelab.internal -> 192.168.x.xx

Set the router's DHCP DNS server to the server's IP so all devices on the network automatically use AdGuard Home for DNS. This blocks ads network-wide without installing anything on individual devices.

• /app-config/adguardhome/conf -- configuration files
• /app-config/adguardhome/work -- runtime data
