Is there any way to use Pi-hole on the Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) instead of AdGuard Home? Is there any tutorial or GitHub repository with a step-by-step guide? I found AdGuard to be very limited in terms of configuration and log maintenance.
A quick search on the internet seems to prove what I already thought: Not possible to run PiHole on OpenWrt. You need to run it on some other device and forward all DNS queries to this device instead.
Theoretically, it's possible to run PiHole via Docker. But I would not recommend it. And it needs modification to run on the Flint2
Thanks for providing a detailed answer.
forgive my ignorance, just want to learn more here.
What are some things you find useful in pi-hole that aren't in Adguard home?

Pihole can be run without web interface, just like Blocky.
I'm still reading about how to build Blocky for Openwrt, you'd then point it at an adlist, let it point to a log and leave it running.
Currently running on alpine Linux and it's so light
Mostly due to log management. Query logs on AdGuard seem too limited, and /control/querylog does not bring all logs, only the newest ones from the current day.
You are wrong. All logs are in adguard home.
so tell me how can i get them?

Go to adguard home > query logs
For mobile version:
Click each domain and see full informations.
Decktop version more see tables.
Dude, don't get me wrong, but this is not log management. You can't extract all the data from the logs into a JSON or CSV to work with them, which is something that NextDNS, Pi-hole, and the AdGuard DNS server allow you to do. The view in the query log tab doesn't really mean anything for someone who wants to extract the data.
My biggest problem with AdGuard Home is that while the /query/log does allow extraction in JSON format, which is what I am looking for, even after configuring it to retain logs, it is not possible to see logs from even the previous day.
