Hi all! I have a bit of a strange question here.

 

To give you some context, I am trying to use AdGuard Home as a DHCP server for my home network (to replace my routers DHCP server). This is using the AdGuard docker application on the unraid server. The issue I have is that my mesh network will not start as it cannot detect my unraid servers AdGuard container as only one of the slave nodes is connected to it. The unraid server isn't located close to the router, and I am unable to run a ethernet cable to it (plus the mesh Wi-Fi network gives it nearly gigabit internal speeds anyway).

 

A potential solution to this that I came up with was to purchase TP-Link powerlines and connect one end to the router, and the other to the switch. However, the speeds are not as desired (less than 100Mbps despite lots of config and location changes), so I decided to plug it into the unraid server directly (along side my connection to the switch). What I want to do is bind that specific docker container for AdGuard to only use that one specific ethernet port (and everything else goes to my switch as usual) is this possible? I've read through various form posts on here, and it seems like there are various degrees of success, but sadly I was unable to accomplish this myself. 

 

I'd appreciate any help from you fantastic people, thank you very much in advance! Let me know if you need any further details

This has been solved.
