wirehole VS docker-pihole-unbound

Shameless plug for an alternative?

> WireHole is a combination of WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Unbound in a docker-compose project with the intent of enabling users to quickly and easily create a personally managed full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN with ad blocking capabilities thanks to Pi-hole, and DNS caching, additional privacy options, and upstream providers via Unbound.

I have been running a home server for a little over a year now mostly for Plex and backups. I set up a Wireguard instance with unbound and pi-hole called Wirehole to remote to my services and keeping things secure on my phone and laptop at times.

https://github.com/IAmStoxe/wirehole is all you need

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.
