AdGuard Home - Updating...

[PxP]

RT-AX86U 388.1 + AdGuard Home 0.107.21 (thru amtm)

Simple question:

What is best and safest way to update AGH to newest stable (not beta) version, without reseting any settings (filter list, DNS servers, blacklist, whitelist, etc, etc.) ?

Regards!

I have no issue changing or updating version, everything is preserved. You can always backup this directory opt/etc/AdGuardHome.

Just updated AdGuard Home using ssh>amtm.
Rebooted AX86.
All *seems* to work, BUT why it is such (see screen):?

Usually I skip reconfiguration. My guess is using previous settings file abort the reconfiguration step.

yep option 1 of reconfiguration aborts the reconfiguration (your update was still successful

) . I would hit n to reconfiguration, if your intentions are not to start out fresh. Reconfiguration allows the user to do essentially what the first install does- it is away to start out fresh. (Consider option 1 on the reconfiguration question as a "Wait I changed my mind button").

Please help, the provider or the state is blocking the adguard.com domain, I can’t update.
If I install a VPN client on a router, then the traffic from the router itself still goes past the VPN.
I can download a file "AdGuardHome_linux_arm64.tar.gz" from a PC via VPN and copy it to the router, but what do I do with this file then? How to update adguard?

From the terminal output, it looks like you are unable to download the update. Until you figure out why this is happening, you will remain unable to download the update. Some suggested culprits to check for blocking are - skynet, adguardhome blocklists (allowlist the domain), or check any other blocking sources you might be using. At either rate, the breakage is happening on your end some where. I wish I could be of more assistance.

Here are the "steps"

Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer/installer at master · jumpsmm7/Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer

The Official Installer of AdGuardHome for Asuswrt-Merlin - jumpsmm7/Asuswrt-Merlin-AdGuardHome-Installer

github.com

Here are the directions per your request:

# Step 1 : Place AdGuardHome_linux_arm64.tar.gz in the directory "/opt/etc/"
# Step 2 : Run these commands in the terminal.
tar xzv -C "/opt/etc" -f "/opt/etc/AdGuardHome_linux_arm64.tar.gz" >/dev/null 2>&1
chown "$(nvram get http_username)":root /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/*
chmod 755 "/opt/etc/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome"
[ -f "/opt/sbin/AdGuardHome" ] && rm -rf /opt/sbin/AdGuardHome
ln -sf /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome /opt/sbin/AdGuardHome
service restart_AdGuardHome

If this doesn't work, then there are probably other steps not known that need to be considered. That is why I recommend fixing the issue instead of relying on this method.

Until you figure out why this is happening, you will remain unable to download the update.

adguard.com, adguard dns and other adguard services is blocked in my country.

Here are the directions per your request:

# Step 1 : Place AdGuardHome_linux_arm64.tar.gz in the directory "/opt/etc/"
# Step 2 : Run these commands in the terminal.
tar xzv -C "/opt/etc" -f "/opt/etc/AdGuardHome_linux_arm64.tar.gz" >/dev/null 2>&1
chown "$(nvram get http_username)":root /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/*
chmod 755 "/opt/etc/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome"
[ -f "/opt/sbin/AdGuardHome" ] && rm -rf /opt/sbin/AdGuardHome
ln -sf /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome /opt/sbin/AdGuardHome
service restart_AdGuardHome

That helped. Thank you
