I had reliability issues with PiHole and moved to AdGuardHome a couple of years ago. It has never, ever crashed and the updates takes a couple of seconds. It rocks.
It’s armv7, but should be v6 compat.
For free, duckdns.org
For a little money (of buying a domain name), Cloudflare
Both have apps, scripts, API, docker containers etc. to dynamically update. And a web interface, obviously.
Second this. I moved from PiHole to AdGH and it’s rock solid stable.
You have Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) which will allow you to run Ubuntu within Windows.
Or you have Docker for Windows which also utilises WSL in a similar manner.
So yes, although not a native Windows exe, it’s perfectly possible.
Well, congrats to you. But as I said - on the same hardware, AGH runs so much smoother and more reliably. Maybe piHole is more reliable now - but back when I was using it, upgrades would kill configs, you’d have to reinstall – it was a common thing every few months. Forgot to mention, AGH also runs on BSD, which means you can run it on your Opsense / pFsense box too if you run one.
Used Pihole for years. Gave AdGaurd Home a try and never looked back.
Every few months you’ll have to fiddle with your Pihole config as an upgrade breaks it. Unbound is a whole separate beast. Refreshing the lists seem to take a lot of processing. You need a second instance, just because.
AdGaurd Home just works. DNS over HTTPS and DoH for your upstream all built in. Upstream can be fail over or fastest response. Upgrades work in browser in a matter of seconds. And to date, has never fallen over (on the exact same hardware and OS as my Piholes).
AdGaurd Home’s service blocking, and Safe Search enforcement is a useful add on for kids devices too.
You should really run 2 instances anyway, for fail over, so why not run one of each and decide for yourself which you prefer?
If the old tablet is Android, Fotoo is perfect. Yes it costs, but one off fee and worth it. Can pull from so many different sources.
Personally, I still use Google Photos. Both my wife and I have us, the kids and pets all autotagged into an album for all the pictures taken on our phones and Fotoo randomly shows these on the Nexus 7 tablet I have taped into a wooden frame.
