Can't figure out how to stop AdGuardHome after using auto-install

[N0iSEA]

I used the the automated install at: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#automated-install-linux-and-mac to install on ubunutu 22.04. Everything has been working fine except that I haven't been able to figure out how to stop it so that i can get an SSL certificate. I have tried every command I could find on google (usually the guidance says `AdGuardHome -s stop' ) but nothing I have found works.

When I do 'service --status-all' there's no AdGuardHome service. Please help me. There is clearly something that I don't understand and need to learn but after 3 days of searching I have run out of ideas...

@N0iSEA, try this:
sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s stop

[N0iSEA]

Unfortunately that did not work either. I tried as many variations of that as I could think of.
thats is the file location but it returns

sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome: command not found

Try:

sudo systemctl stop AdGuardHome.service

[N0iSEA]

It says Failed to stop AdguardHome.service: Unit AdguardHome.service is not loaded. It is true that I do not see AdguardHome service running when i list running services. However, i have been using and am still able to access adguard home in the web gui for the ip address of this server. How is this possible? I used the automatic installation from the link in my original post. I am starting to think I should start over and build it myself so i can make sure I can stop it and get the SSL. The only reason that I hesitate to do that is that I have already it configured to work with cloudflared and unbound and everything else about it is working as intended.

Does it say:

Failed to stop AdguardHome.service: Unit AdguardHome.service is not

or:

Failed to stop AdGuardHome.service: Unit AdGuardHome.service is not

Make sure to write the command exactly like I wrote it here. It's case-sensitive. (Feel free to provide screenshots from error messages, might make finding spelling errors easier.)

Some other things you can do to figure out where AGH is installed on your system since the command provided by @ammnt didn't work either is:

ps -aA | grep AdGuardHome

It should show something like this:

22426 ? 00:07:19 AdGuardHome

The first number is the process ID, write it down.

Now run (replace 22426 with the process ID you got from the former command output):

sudo ls -l /proc/22426/exe

This should result in something like this

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 27 12:05 /proc/22426/exe -> /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome

Now you have the path to your AGH installation and you can try again with:

sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s stop

(replace /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome with the path you got from the former command)

You were right. It was the capital G. Thank you. I am sorry for making such a dumb mistake and wasting people’s time. I must have checked the case sensitivity dozens of times but lizard brain and my eyes only focused on the A and the H.
