Here’s how I manually update AdGuard Home on Flint by using WinSCP (SCP protocol):

  1. Get the latest version on this link: Release AdGuard Home v0.107.17 · AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome · GitHub
    (For Flint, it’s going to be the AdGuardHome_linux_armv7.tar.gz)

  2. Download this file and extract it somewhere you prefer. You should have this folder extracted:

  3. Open WinSCP and connect to the router’s IP: (default 192.168.8.1, make sure to change this if you change the LAN IP) and put in root as the username and your password. Make sure to select SCP as the File Protocol

  4. Head to the folder /etc and you should see AdGuardHome there:

  5. You’re gonna want to copy these folders as these are your backups for restoring your AG settings: agh-backup and data folders (paste it somewhere you prefer like, desktop)

  6. Log into Flint’s router page and stop AdGuard Home process.

  7. Now, copy the extracted file earlier downloaded from AdGuard’s Github to the router’s etc folder using WinSCP, you may drag the folder from your desktop going to the etc folder. and overwrite it.

  8. Once done, copy and paste the 2 folders that were copied earlier (agh-backup and data) and paste it in etc/AdguardHome/ then overwrite it.

  9. Head to AdGuard Home’s settings page and re-enable the AdGuard Home process then click on the Settings Page:
