No. Do NOT use my script. Follow the AGH team instructions on their page.

You dont have to use sudo however. You are logged into your router as "root" and thus are already administrator.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 2:48pm

That even not working properly. For example if i use this way
wget -o '/tmp/AdGuardHome_linux_mips_softfloat.tar.gz'
'https://static.adguard.com/adguardhome/edge/AdGuardHome_linux_mips_softfloat.tar.gz'

It download two files

Then i untar second file and repeat same above steps. no luck.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 2:52pm

without sudo its same error.

mercygroundabyss · February 10, 2022, 2:53pm

first file must be corrupt. the full download is 10mb.

delete both and retry.

(edit) your yaml file is corrupt i suspect.

Change directory to your /opt/AdGuardHome folder
then run this.
./AdGuardHome --check-config
it will tell you if your yaml file is ok. If it is not. Delete it and re-set AGH back up by going to your router page at port 3000 as per first install.
http://192.168.1.1:3000

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:01pm

This giving same error ./AdGuardHome --check-config

And how to open this http://192.168.1.1:3000 as its 192.168.1.1 refused to connect err.
err0

mercygroundabyss · February 10, 2022, 3:07pm

i suggest you reinstall AGH.

curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v -r

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:09pm

This also stuck.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:11pm

Even there is no new log

mercygroundabyss · February 10, 2022, 3:11pm

it failed to install the service because it was already installed.

apt install sudo

then rerun the script if you want it to clean properly.

However AGH should start and alllow you to configure it right now.

Also take note of the file it downloaded for your router. Looks like you were using the wrong mips version. Which is why it was failing to start. Your version is mipsle not plain mips.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:15pm

How to check this its MIPS or MIPSLE?
CPU

mercygroundabyss · February 10, 2022, 3:16pm

its right there at the top.
LE stands for little endian.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:17pm

Ok so this version is correct?
https://static.adguard.com/adguardhome/edge/AdGuardHome_linux_mipsle_softfloat.tar.gz

mercygroundabyss · February 10, 2022, 3:18pm

That is what the script pulls. That is also what your cpu is.

Might explain why it doesn't self update as well. May be worth filing an issue with the AGH team as to why you do not get an "update" button on your version like the rest of us do.

(edit) so if you replace the download link from my script with your le version it will work. But be aware this makes NO checks at all and will just download the new version and replace your old one over the top.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 3:20pm

Ok let me report them. Ty.

sunindersingh · February 10, 2022, 4:36pm

Need to manually remove the old files /etc/init.d/AdGuardHome, after reboot and running that above single line command it is working now.

Few new things which i noted maybe useful for other before installing/upgrading.

a) opkg install lscpu file
b)

I updated the script in the wiki with this as I was following that script and it was stopping at that point, seems to be installed and working now.

@mercygroundabyss, do you use cloudflare for any specific reason? Unfortunately, my network is very unstable when I use cloudflare dns, it has much less latency compared to adguard itself, but the most interesting thing is that even with a higher latency, adguard dns is much better than it on my network. Would it be okay if I use adguard instead of cloudflare?

mercygroundabyss · February 14, 2022, 1:13am

Of course. You can use which ever dns you prefer. Its why i list the options. I just use cloudflare as its quicker and regionally based for me. In theory it should work worldwide.

netRAT · February 14, 2022, 2:58am

Any particular reason you set your wan with one specific dns host - (cloudflare) in this case, as opposed to like 127.0.0.1 (if AGH runs on your main router and not another device connected to your LAN).
In my config I have the fastest (based on my location) and most trusted public dns providers lined up one after the other and then set AGH to Load Balancing mode.
Therefore my wan interface gets the benefit of both not querying the same server all the time as well as potentially resolving quicker in the event where other providers on my list are able to resolve quicker as determined by AGH's Load Balancing algorithm.
Just wondering if I'm missing something here logically or perhaps technically...
