docker-pihole-unbound VS Pi-hole

I'm running the chriscrowe 'one container' build for pihole for ad-blocking (https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound), and unbound for private recursive DNS which is running great on my Zima board.

I believe my problem stems from when I tried to install the pihole-unbound container (https://github.com/chriscrowe/docker-pihole-unbound)

I've got lucky enough that I could get in Nov-19 a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM that I use as a NAS+Pi-Hole + Unbound +Other stuff (running Void MUSL of course) and instead of an SD I use an HDD for the OS + a 5TB HDD for the data and even fully loaded all cores it barely consumes more than 22W.

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.

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

2) you can use something like this maintained GitHub repo. Just decide if you want to use 1 or 2 containers and modify the ip and gateways, etc accordingly.

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
