Hi, I have exactly the same behavior - also on a RPi 4.

Hi guys, same problem here...

[stdevel]

Is there any way to downgrade the addon? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm quite new to home assistant and couldn't find any information about downgrading addons - also can't find the addon files on the filesystem.

Having the Same issue

Is there any way to downgrade the addon?

By default a backup is taken of the addon before an update occurs. Look in Settings > System > Backups.

The same issue

[AlecRust]

Looks like an upstream issue https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/4846

[storkpkp]

I am having the same issue as well. I notice the solution is to install the edge release of AdGuard 1.08, but I do not see how to do that. Even the edge version of the repository here has 1.07 and give the same error.

[thomas21111]

Same here, edge repository does not solve issue.

[nibako]

Same Problem here....

[AlecRust]

Not really following all the "same here". What do you expect to be done here exactly? This is an upstream issue.

Even the edge version of the repository here has 1.07 and give the same error.

This add-on (even "edge" versions) only use stable versions of AdGuard Home afaik.

This issue looks fixed only on AdGuard Home v0.108 which is not a stable release. Feel free to install that manually!

As for this add-on, I imagine it will be updated upon the next stable release of AdGuard Home.

In the meantime, restore your backups of this add-on prior to v4.7.2 if that's when it started breaking for you. I recommend not having auto-updates enabled for this add-on.

[nibako]

@AlecRust Thanks for the information. When can we expect the 0.108 release?

[stdevel]

Thanks for the information @AlecRust

This issue looks fixed only on AdGuard Home v0.108 which is not a stable release. Feel free to install that manually!

Do you have any hints how to do this? Where are the addon binaries stored on the filesystem?

That's a good hint - unfortunately I have a fresh installation so there is no backup I could restore.

[AlecRust]

When can we expect the 0.108 release?

No idea I'm not an AdGuard developer 🙂 enable release notifications on the repository to be notified.

Perhaps more likely is a v0.107.11 release with this fix 🤷

I don't I'm afraid, I have only used AdGuard Home via this add-on. There are getting started instructions though. Please be aware this is for building standalone AdGuard Home i.e. not as a Home Assistant add-on, which I assume you use now.

That's a good hint - unfortunately I have a fresh installation so there is no backup I could restore.

Sadly I'm not aware of a way to install specific versions of an add-on, it would certainly be nice. Looks like there's a feature request you can vote on.

This has happened, and Frenck has already released new version 4.7.3 of this add-on.

Update and close this if the issue is resolved 👍

[frenck]

Responses in other places seem that it closes this issue 👍
