Prerequisites

I have checked the Wiki and Discussions and found no answer
I have searched other issues and found no duplicates
I want to report a bug and not ask a question or ask for help
I have set up AdGuard Home correctly and configured clients to use it. (Use the Discussions for help with installing and configuring clients.)

Platform (OS and CPU architecture)

Custom (please mention in the description)

Installation

Docker

Setup

On one machine

AdGuard Home version

"latest" / v0.107.65

Action

Installed adguardhome docker onto Fedora Server on my Pi 400, following all the instructions on the docker page.

Expected result

For everything to be set-up correctly and for the web interfaces to just work. Installing adguardhome normally without docker has worked fine in the past personally.

Actual result

Nothing, no errors, no setup screen, no login screen, and work/conf dirs stay empty. Had to check docker logs to find out the issue:

adguardhome  | 2025/09/14 17:02:59.634024 [info] AdGuard Home, version v0.107.65

And even after manually setting the directory to be owned by docker it still fails.
