Puppet-Adguard

A Puppet module for installing and managing AdGuard Home

Module description

This module will install and configure AdGuard Home on a node, it largely uses the defaults provided by AdGuard Home in a typical installation.
This module manages AdGuard by manipulating the AdGuardHome.yaml file.

This module has been tested on the following platforms:

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Debian 9

Setup

The below demonstrates a minimum configuration: 

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }]
}

This will download AdGuardHome and install it with default parameters and provide access to the user user with a password of password.
Note: AdGuard requires the password to be in BCrypt-encrypted format, to get a compatible string you can run the following from a terminal:
htpasswd -bnBC 10 "" MY_NEW_PASS | tr -d ':'

Usage

Configuring listeners

By default the WebUI is configured to listen on port 80 and DNS on port 53, they are also both bound to listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0) You may wish to change this to suit your needs:

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    webui_interface => '192.168.33.33',
    webui_port => 3000,
    dns_interface => '127.0.0.1',
    dns_port => 5353,
}

This would configure the webui to be available on port 3000 on interface 192.168.33.33, meaning to get to the WebUI you would need to visit http://192.168.33.33:3000. It would also configure the DNS server to listen on port 5353 on localhost only, meaning you would only be able to query DNS locally on this node and would need to specify port 5353 (eg 127.0.0.1#5353)

Managing filters

By default this module configures the standard AdGuard filter entries:

  • https://adguardteam.github.io/AdGuardSDNSFilter/Filters/filter.txt
  • https://adaway.org/hosts.txt
  • https://www.malwaredomainlist.com/hostslist/hosts.txt

However you may wish to set your own:

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    filters => 
    [
      {
        name => 'My Custom List',
        url => 'https://example.com/hosts.txt',
        enable => true,
      },
      {
        name => 'Another Custom List',
        url => 'https://foo.com/list.txt',
        enable => true,
      }
    ]
}

A hiera example:

adguard::filters:
  - name: 'My Custom List'
    url: 'https://example.com/hosts.txt'
    enable: true
  - name: 'Another Custom List'
    url: https://foo.com/list.txt'
    enable: true

Note: defining your own lists will replace all the default entries, if you wish to keep them make sure to specify them in your configuration.

Setting upstream DNS

By default the module configures the following upstream DNS server:

  • https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query

You may wish to change this to your liking:

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    upstream_dns => ['9.9.9.9','8.8.8.8']

or via hiera:

adguard::upstream_dns:
  - '9.9.9.9'
  - '8.8.8.8'

Note: when specifying HTTP(S) servers AdGuard may need to call out to a bootstrap server to be able to resolve the IP address for the upstream server.
By default the following bootstrap servers are configured:

  • '9.9.9.10'
  • '149.112.112.10'
  • '2620:fe::10'
  • '2620:fe::fe:10'

These can be changed by changing the bootstrap_dns parameter.

Configuring client overrides

You may wish to have some clients get a different set of settings rather than the global defaults, you can use the adguard::clinets parameter to specify these:

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    clients => [{
      name => 'My Laptop',
      tags => ['my_tag'],
      ids  => ['00:1B:44:11:3A:B7'],
      use_global_settings => false,
      filtering_enabled => true,
      parental_enabled => false,
      safesearch_enabled => false,
      use_global_blocked_services => false,
      blocked_services => ['Facebook'],
      upstreams => ['8.8.8.8']
    }]

For more information on this please see the official AdGuard documentation

Configuring DHCP

AdGuard Home supports acting as a DHCP server and as of v0.2.0 this module allows for configuration of those options.
To enable DHCP you would need to set enable_dhcp to true, specify a dhcp_interface and then specify your dhcp_v4_options/dhcp_v6_options
Example: 

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    enable_dhcp => true,
    dhcp_interface => 'eth0',
    dhcp_v4_options => {
      gateway_ip => '192.168.1.1',
      subnet_mask => '255.255.255.0',
      range_start => '192.168.1.2',
      range_end => '192.168.1.20',
      lease_duration => 86400, # in seconds
    }

If you'd like to enable special DHCP options this can be done via the options parameter, these should be given as CODE hex HEX_VALUE (eg 6 hex 0102030401020305). 

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    enable_dhcp => true,
    dhcp_interface => 'eth0',
    dhcp_v4_options => {
      gateway_ip => '192.168.1.1',
      subnet_mask => '255.255.255.0',
      range_start => '192.168.1.2',
      range_end => '192.168.1.20',
      lease_duration => 86400, # in seconds
      options => [
        '6 hex 0102030401020305'
      ],
    }

For more information see the official AdGuard documentation

TLS Configuration

As of v0.2.0 this module now supports setting the TLS settings in Adguard. This remains largely untested so use with caution and please report any issues on the module repository.
A basic configuration would look like:

class {'adguard':
    users => [{
        username => 'user',
        password => '$2y$10$c6lDDShTh5ezcvKhyWwOMet6C/0tLxlgYX53wf58jl9tBdUVbYSqe',
    }],
    enable_tls => true,
    tls_options => {
        server_name => 'adguard-test.com',
        force_https => false,
        port_https => 443,
        port_dns_over_tls => 853,
        port_dns_over_quic => 784,
        port_dnscrypt => 0,
        allow_unencrypted_doh => false,
        strict_sni_check => false,
        certificate_path => '/root/cert.pem',
        private_key_path => '/root/key.pem',
    }

More information on these settings can be found in the official AdGuard docs

Know Limitations

Configuration overwriting itself/Disabling configuration file management

Due to the fact this module manages configuration of AdGuard by manipulating the AdGuardHome.yaml file there may be instances where Puppet fights against AdGuard Home with both trying to change the contents of the file.

This is only likely to happen when AdGuard have made changes to the way in which the configuration file is constructed (for example a new parameter has been added, or an existing one modified during an update).

To get around this you can disable management of the AdGuardHome.yaml file:

class {'adguard':
    manage_config => false,
}

This will stop Puppet from modifing the configuration file and allow AdGuard to manage the file.

You may also wish to disable configuration file managment if you prefer to use to the WebUI to configure AdGuard, or you wish to manage AdGuard's configuration manually.

Note: Puppet will create the configuration file if it is missing with the values you have specified in your manifests and/or hiera.

If your configuration file has been overwritten Puppet will back it up before overwritting it, it will be stored in the same directory as the configuration file with a .puppet extension.

Systemd/Resolvd and AdGuard

By default Resolvd will claim port 53 for DNSStubListener meaning AdGuard will fail to start when bound to port 53.
In these cases this module will disable DNSStubListener in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf which WILL BREAK local DNS lookups if AdGuard is ever removed and the setting is not changed back manually.
