I've been running AdGuardHome for years, almost since it came out. I prefer keeping it up to date manually after reading the release notes and known issues (by visiting the config page and clicking update if it notifies me that there is a new version) but if you want to automate it you can install the Snap or Docker version or use the API[1] to trigger an auto upgrade. Installing it is easy, there's even an automated installation script now[2] but I prefer to do it manually and run it as a regular user without root permissions. It can run from pretty much anywhere in your filesystem and as any user as long as it has the correct permissions, that's what made me choose it instead of PiHole at first, also the more advanced regex blocking rules.

The easiest way to keep it up to date is probably a Cron script that runs curl to trigger the upgrade API endpoint.

Actually, AdGuard Home checks for updates periodically (unless it’s docker or snap) and can update itself right from the admin panel.
