Network-wide ad blockers servers

AdGuardHome

AdGuardHome DNS sinkhole

AdGuard Home is a network-wide software that functions as a DNS server and ad blocker. It blocks ads, trackers, and malicious websites at the DNS level, meaning it filters content for all devices connected to the network. It also provides additional features like parental controls, logging, and privacy protections. Essentially, it acts as a gateway between your devices and the internet, blocking unwanted content before it even reaches your devices.

Pi-hole

Pi-hole DNS ad blocker with Unbound support

Pi-hole is a network-wide ad blocker that acts as a DNS (Domain Name System) sinkhole. It blocks connections to known ad servers, trackers, and malicious domains across all devices in your network, without requiring any browser extensions or client-side software.

Pi-hole Explained

• DNS-Based Filtering Pi-hole intercepts DNS queries made by devices on your network. When a domain is requested, Pi-hole checks it against a set of blocklists. If the domain is known to serve ads or track user activity, Pi-hole blocks the request, preventing unwanted content from loading.

• Customizable Blocklists You can choose from various community-maintained blocklists or add your own. These lists contain domains associated with ads, trackers, malware, or other undesirable content.

• Whole-Network Protection Once Pi-hole is configured as your network’s DNS server, all devices - smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and IoT devices - are automatically protected. No additional configuration or software is required on the individual devices.

• Built-in Recursive DNS with Unbound For added privacy and full DNS resolution control, Unbound is installed and enabled by default during Pi-hole installation. Unbound functions as a local recursive DNS resolver, fetching responses directly from authoritative DNS servers rather than relying on upstream providers. This minimizes third-party exposure and can improve query performance.

• Web Interface Pi-hole includes a web-based dashboard that provides real-time visibility into DNS activity. The interface allows you to view statistics, manage blocklists, whitelist domains, and configure settings with ease.

• Privacy and Performance Benefits By blocking unwanted domains at the DNS level, Pi-hole reduces page load times, lowers bandwidth usage, and enhances user privacy by preventing tracking scripts and ads from reaching client devices.

• Platform Compatibility Pi-hole can be installed on a variety of platforms. It runs well on lightweight systems such as Armbian Minimal, but is also available as a Docker container and supports deployment on most Linux-based environments.

Pi-hole offers an effective and centralized way to enhance privacy and reduce unwanted content across your entire network.

Unbound

Unbound caching DNS resolver

Unbound is a high-performance, open-source DNS resolver. It primarily serves to resolve domain names into IP addresses for devices on a network. Unlike regular DNS servers, Unbound performs DNS lookups directly and securely, providing features like DNSSEC validation (ensuring data integrity) and privacy protections. It’s often used to improve speed, security, and privacy by resolving queries locally rather than relying on external DNS services.

• Default Login: No password required by default (see optional variables below)

Note: Code-server uses HTTPS with a self-signed certificate by default. Your browser may show a security warning - this is normal for self-signed certificates.

• Install directory: /armbian/code-server
• Configuration directory: /armbian/code-server/config

You can customize code-server by passing additional environment variables:

• PASSWORD - Set a simple password for web UI access (not recommended for production)
• HASHED_PASSWORD - Set a hashed password for enhanced security (recommended)
• SUDO_PASSWORD - Set a password for sudo access within code-server terminal
• PROXY_DOMAIN - Configure proxy domain for reverse proxy setups
• DEFAULT_WORKSPACE - Set the default workspace directory
• PWA_APPNAME - Customize the PWA (Progressive Web App) name

To add these variables, edit the container and restart:

docker stop code-server
docker rm code-server
# Then reinstall with modified environment variables

docker logs -f code-server

To generate a hashed password for the HASHED_PASSWORD variable:

docker run -it --rm lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server:latest hash_password

• Browser shows certificate warning: Accept the security warning to proceed (self-signed certificate)
• Cannot access web UI: Check if port 8443 is open in your firewall
• Extensions not installing: Check internet connectivity from the container

Perfect to run on any single board computer with 4 cores and at least 512Mb of memory. Armbian installation is optimised to run from SD/eMMC media, but it is recommended to use SSD.

Limited support

The supervised installation method on Armbian is not officially supported by the Home Assistant project. Additionally, installation on hardware that is not officially supported is also outside the scope of support provided by the Armbian team.

You are welcome to report high-level application issues that are reproducible on the official Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) within the Home Assistant Community. For any topics related to single-board computer hardware, you may use the Armbian Community Forums; however, please be aware that official support from the Armbian team is not guaranteed.

While the Home Assistant team deprecated the Supervised installation method, the Armbian team will continue to provide and maintain it, as long as automated installation tests succeed and the required maintenance remains manageable.

Proxmox VE

Proxmox VE virtualization platform (keeps the Armbian kernel)

Proxmox VE is a complete, open-source server virtualization platform for running KVM virtual machines and LXC containers from a single, integrated web interface. It combines the tooling for compute, storage and software-defined networking so you can manage a whole host — or a cluster of them — from your browser.

This module installs Proxmox VE 9 from the official no-subscription repository on Debian 13 (trixie), on both amd64 and arm64, and — unlike the upstream guide — keeps the running Armbian kernel instead of pulling the Proxmox one.

Key Features

• KVM virtual machines: Full hardware-accelerated VMs via the board’s KVM-enabled Armbian kernel.
• LXC containers: Lightweight, fast system containers alongside your VMs.
• Web management: Manage guests, storage, backups and networking from https://<ip>:8006.
• ZFS storage: Installs ZFS (via DKMS, built against the Armbian kernel) so you can create ZFS pools and datasets for VM/container storage.
• Keeps your kernel: Installs pve-manager (no kernel dependency) rather than the proxmox-ve meta, so your Armbian kernel and DTBs stay in place.
• No subscription needed: Uses the public pve-no-subscription repository.

Ideal for turning an Armbian board into a lightweight hypervisor without giving up the board’s own kernel and hardware support.

Access to the web interfaceRuns on the Armbian kernelRequirementsDirectories

• Username: root (your system root password)

Official documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/

This install intentionally omits the Proxmox kernel and runs on the board’s Armbian kernel:

• KVM virtual machines and LXC containers work provided the running kernel offers the needed support (KVM / /dev/kvm and container cgroups/namespaces) — which the Armbian kernels for these arches normally do.
• This module installs ZFS for you (via DKMS, built against the Armbian kernel), so ZFS storage pools work out of the box; only ZFS-on-root (boot) is out of scope.

• Armbian Trixie (Debian 13) on amd64 or arm64 (enforced by the installer).

• Recommended: the hostname should resolve to a non-loopback IP in /etc/hosts, e.g.:

  192.168.1.50   pve.local pve
  

  If it resolves only to a loopback address (127.x or IPv6 ::1), the installer warns and lets you continue, but the web UI and clustering may not work until you fix /etc/hosts.

• Cluster data: /var/lib/pve-cluster

apt-cacher-ng

apt-cacher-ng caching proxy install

apt-cacher-ng is a caching HTTP proxy for Debian and Ubuntu apt repositories. The first host on the LAN to fetch a .deb populates the cache; every subsequent apt-get install / apt-get dist-upgrade on any other host serves the same package from local disk — saving WAN bandwidth and turning multi-minute upgrades into seconds.

Key Features

• Transparent HTTP proxy in front of deb.debian.org / archive.ubuntu.com / vendor mirrors
• Single-port (3142), single-container deployment
• Per-package hit-rate report at /acng-report.html
• Survives container restart — cache lives on a host bind-mount
