About

What AdGuard Home does

AdGuard Home is a network-wide DNS server that blocks ads, trackers, and malicious domains before they reach your devices. It provides DNSSEC validation, customizable filter lists, parental controls, DHCP support, query logging, and encrypted DNS (DoT/DoH/DoQ).

Install Flow

How to self-host AdGuard Home

AdGuard Home can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what AdGuard Home does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for AdGuard Home Docker, AdGuard Home Docker Compose, or self-host AdGuard Home, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

Block ads and trackers across all devices on your home network (phones, tablets, TVs, IoT devices) by configuring your router to use AdGuard Home as its DNS server.

Protect children from inappropriate content by enabling parental controls to block adult websites, enforce safe search, and schedule blocking times.

Monitor which domains your devices are connecting to using the query log and statistics dashboard to identify potential privacy violations.

Improve network performance and reduce bandwidth usage by blocking requests to ad and tracking servers before they load.
