So how does an average joe use your link and set that up? I have no clue.
Here's a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user's profile... I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
Yes its an image from a random account, not blocky.
...I don't think you need to be a pro to... you know... read a bit. :^)
Can you provide more details as to why id want this over pihole? I've had a container on my interior server with pihole without issues for years. Should I change?
Compared to pihole, it doesn't need any dependencies and is an "all-in-one" solution like AdGuardHome. It's also open-source and very simple to set it up -- all you need is only one configuration file.
Then again, if you aren't having any issues with pihole, then by all means continue as is.
Why would not link to official docker for blocky? Bit odd to recommend 17 pulls vs the 1 million+ one. Easier for people new to the software to get help if something is not working if they are using the same thing everyone else is using.
Does it support DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS? That's one of the main advantages of AdGuard Home - you get encrypted DNS out-of-the-box, as it uses Quad9 over DoH by default.
