adguardhome: Set the work directory for data to be stored in.
$ AdGuardHome --work-dir ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "AdGuardHome --work-dir ${path-to-directory}" launches an application called "AdGuardHome" with a specific working directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "AdGuardHome": It refers to the executable application or binary file named "AdGuardHome." This application is likely related to network filtering, ad blocking, and privacy protection.

  • "--work-dir": It's a command-line flag or option that sets the working directory for the AdGuardHome application. The working directory is the location where the application will read and write files during runtime.

  • "${path-to-directory}": It's a placeholder indicating that you need to provide the actual path to a directory of your choice. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual file path on your system. This is the directory where AdGuardHome will operate and store data specific to its functionality, such as configuration files, logs, and temporary files.

By specifying a custom working directory with "--work-dir", you can control where AdGuardHome accesses and manages its files, allowing you to organize and maintain the application's data according to your preferences or system requirements.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
