Openwrt can run Adguard, and as long as your gateway can run docker, you can probably get pihole working.
Thanks, so what I should look for is a gateway running OpenWRT, which can run docker?
I think its better to keep your gateway basic, and run extra services on a separate raspi or similar. Let your router/gateway focus on routing packets.
I'm not overly against keeping them separate. It's just I have a lot of stuff piling up and consolidating would have been nice ๐
Agreed. I would also reconsider ditching the ISP router. You can still connect your gateway to it, and having the ISP device on premises can mean they might not blame your equipment for a line issue.
It's a little bit more complicated than I made out. For one, the network is super unstable and restarting the ISP router seems to fix it. I want to replace the router to test the theory that it's the problem.
Secondly, this is a bring your own router to the ISP situation, but the router came from another ISP, but they are all the same ISP in the end because one company owns a whole bunch of ISPs and sends the same router to all the customers of all the child companies. Long story short, it's the router they would have issued to me, but they didn't, because a different subsidiary sent it to me before I changed ISPs to take advantage of a special because I live in a country where the lines are open and anyone can start an ISP using the existing lines but if you get big enough to be competition then the big company will buy you out and pretend it's still a separate company. But if it doesn't work well then it's up to me to solve unless I am willing to pay the ~$10USD for them to send me the ISP router that is supported by them but it will be the same cheap router as I already have. Ok that's not a very short story but that's why it was easier to just call it an ISP router ๐
Yes you can install Docker on OpenWrt but do your own research as if I remember correctly you have to thinker with it
