unifios-utilities VS docker-homebridge

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities <- this cannot be more simple to digest. Stop spreading FUD (and learn to code if you still don't understand how Github works and what is linked)

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script

Not natively but they run dnsmasq so you can use unifios-utilities with an on-boot-script to modify dnsmasq’s config and add whatever records you need, including wildcard

According to the description the file paths should always be "homebridge", so at the moment both instances would interfere with each other when they both run (only one runs atm)...however, I could try to setup another homebridge instance and link that to another "homebridge" path in a sub-folder and see if that works. I'll give it a try.

Or just spin up a Docker container either one will do nicely

One physical PC is my "management" server. It's on my trusted VLAN/network. It hosts my wifi controller, homebridge, and scrypted and watchtower.

I recommend using the compose template straight from the source, to avoid issues like this in the future https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge
