Run Pi-Hole (LATEST) + Unbound on Docker

Primary LanguageShell

Pi-Hole + Unbound on Docker

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

This repo has 2 different docker-compose configs-- choose your favorite. The two-container config may work better on Synology due to usage of macvlan networking which helps prevent port conflicts with the host.

  • one-container (new) - Install Unbound directly into the Pi-Hole 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, we can also simplify our Docker networking since macvlan is no longer necessary.
  • two-container (legacy) - Use separate containers for Pi-Hole and Unbound
    • This configuration uses MatthewVance's unbound-docker container to implement encrypted DNS to third party DNS resolvers (eg Cloudflare). This is arguably less privacy-friendly since you're handing your DNS queries to those 3rd party providers.
