Pi-Hole + Unbound on Docker

Forked from chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound

Use Docker to run Pi-Hole with an upstream Unbound resolver.

This repo runs Pi-Hole and Unbound in one container.

• This configuration contacts the DNS root servers directly, please read the Pi-Hole docs on Pi-hole as All-Around DNS Solution to understand what this means.
• With this approach, macvlan should no longer be necessary, but I prefer running Pi-Hole with its own IP address.

Description

This Docker deployment runs both Pi-Hole and Unbound in a single container.

The base image for the container is the official Pi-Hole container, with an extra build step added to install the Unbound resolver directly into to the container based on instructions provided directly by the Pi-Hole team.

Usage

First create a .env file to substitute variables for your deployment.

Pi-hole environment variables

Vars and descriptions replicated from the official pihole container:

Variable	Default	Value	Description

FTLCONF_webserver_api_password	random	<Admin password>	http://pi.hole/admin password. Run docker logs pihole | grep random to find your random pass.
FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4	unset	<Host's IP>	Set to your server's LAN IP, used by web block modes and lighttpd bind address.
REV_SERVER	false	<"true"|"false">	Enable DNS conditional forwarding for device name resolution

Base container versions and images building

You can build your own image locally by cloning the repo and running the script build_and_push.sh (edit the tag accordingly) If VERSION is empty, the image will be based on the latest version of the base container. To use a specific version of the base container, specify it in VERSION.
