docker-pihole-unbound VS openvpn-install

Hello again, what abouts am I doing wrong this time? I'm struggling to pull down Pi-Hole + Unbound - 1 Container project - "https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound/tree/main/one-container"

I was only able to get pihole macvlan approach working with an ssh access + docker-compose approach. I used the crowe one-container approach Still had to enable Open vSwitch for the network in Synology first.

You can follow the doc to do those install steps within your own Dockerfile. Or you can use the commonly recommended chriscrowe image, which does what I’m describing.

What’s with chriscrowe ? I forked it because he was to slow with updates for my tastes but (automated the build and push when Pi-hole releases a new version) but the one from chris worked without a problem for me.

When I started experimenting with this topic chriscrowe's was a baseline for stuff that I tryed out, so kudos to chris!

It seems you’re looking at a wrong file. Here is a docker file for one-container solution: https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound/blob/55c88afaf8d76958923adc38f4c12a80e1cb9084/one-container/pihole-unbound/Dockerfile

There is a docker container that combines pihole and inbound already - maybe it will be of any help?

The last intruction on cbcrowe’s page says “If using Portainer, just paste the docker-compose.yaml contents into the stack config and add your environment variables directly in the UI.” https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound/tree/main/one-container

https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install or if you want to be free from your distro's OpenSSL version: https://github.com/ix-ai/openvpn (recommended, just rebuild the container if it becomes outdated)

"Free" OpenVPN is nothing special, you can just run the PiVPN or Angristan's OpenVPN script on any of those VPSes. Ultra.cc's built-in VPN only support up to 3 simultaneous session, while those scripts allow unlimited sessions (at least until you maxed the CPU with hundreds of MBps transfer), you can get faster speed & lower latency with WireGuard on PiVPN, or using Angristan's WireGuard script, if your ISP tries to block OpenVPN & WireGuard, you can use Outline etc.

As the switch can‘t run a vpn, what I think what could work are some things like: - Connect your routers via vpn together, if possible, start the emulator and try to connect from the switch - install a vpn server on the emulator pc or in the network, (openvpn, or wireguard e.g. maybe you got a rasperry pi, you could use some easy installer like https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install now connect the emulator pc to the vpn server, now we need the switch in the vpn tunnel, this may could be reached either by connecting your router to the tunnel (if you got a good one it could be possible) or what I also could imagine is to go to your PC, you need 2 wifi sticks or 1 stick and 1 ethernet cable and start a hotspot from your windows PC, conmect your switch to this hotspot and then connect your pc to the vpn tunnel. I didnt tested it, but I think this could work… - rent a server (windows or linux) start ryujinx or lanplay and install a vpn server on it, connect to vpn via PC (emulator) and via router (on switch site) and try some steps like above suggested.

Manual installation and configuration of an OpenVPN server is a tedious work. To streamline the process, we will use a third-party installer script from GitHub: angristan/openvpn-install. The script supports a wide range of operating systems and architectures.

openVPN is considered more stable as it exists for longer, you can easily install it with this script: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install
