I want to use AdGuard via HA running on my Synology NAS. In the videos I saw they say that I have to install AdGuard via Docker on my Synology but I thought it would be the easiest way to install it as AddOn from the HA-AddOn-Store. What is the right way?
Add-ons only work in HAOS. Containers work with Container install of HA.
So the answer is
Depends…
I have Adguard Home running in Synology’s Container Manager. HAOS runs on a Pi 5 with the Adguard integration which pulls all the stats and controls across into HA.
I have downloaded the HA .ova and installed this image on a VM running on my Synology. Then I fetched the AddOn within HA’s AddOn-Store. Is this the wrong way. Sorry, I am a newbie :_)
I don’t know as I run HAOS on a Raspberry Pi. My point was that you don’t need HA and Adguard Home to be on the same machine, whether in Docker or not, in order to integrate Adguard with HA.
