Automating AdGuardHome Deployment without UI

[labbedaine]

Hello,
Thank you very much for producing AdGuardHome.

I am working on my homelab and would like to automate the deployment and configuration of AdGuardHome without using the user interface.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. Deploying a Docker container on a remote host using Ansible.
2. Manually initializing AdGuardHome using the UI to create the AdGuardHome.yaml file.
3. Configuring the application using Terraform.

I would like to replace step number 2 with automation. Is it possible to force AdGuard Home to output AdGuardHome.yaml using the command line or another method that doesn't involve the user interface? Also I need to change few attributes before restarting the container like creation of a new username and password, changing the user interface port, use SSL with Traefik, etc.

As a workaround, I've placed a copy of the YAML file in an external Docker volume (conf), but I'm not a fan of this solution since the YAML might change in the future, requiring maintenance.

Any advice on how to best automate this process so I can quickly recover from a server crash would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
