Howdy Everyone!
As I am setting up my infrastructure at home using docker I wanted to ask, is it better to have DNS, something like pi-hole, on my main docker swarm or would it be better to have it on a dedicated machine/docker host separate from the rest of my infrastructure?
Thanks for the input!
But why deal with separate software like dnscrypt-proxy when AdGuard Home has it built-in?
Why should I use a piece of software that’s controlled by a corporate entity in Russia?
Not sure what you mean by “controlled” given it’s open-source?
Open source projects still need a maintainer/owner. For example, Facebook “controls” react, Microsoft “controls” Visual Studio Code, and AdguardTeam “controls” AdGuardHome. There are several reasons to not trust a maintainer (eg, license changes, prioritizing or implementing undesired functionality and anti-features, converting to “open core”, abandoning the project, selling out to less trust worthy entities, etc.).
Per Adguard’s website, the legal entity behind the various AdGuard products is
ADGUARD SOFTWARE LIMITED. A quick search on that company shows that there are 3 founders and they seem to have some ties to Russia. There is more information online about this, but whether this means they can be trusted or not is up to each potential user of one of the AdGuard products.
