Pi-Hole Docker + Unbound local recursive DNS solution

General Instructions

1. You have four options:

• Copy docker-compose-env.yaml to docker-compose.yaml and copy env_example.txt to .env (and edit .env)
• Copy docker-compose-portainer.yaml to docker-compose.yaml and edit the file with your changes
• Copy docker-compose-syno.yaml to docker-compose.yaml and copy env_example.txt to .env (and edit .env)
• Copy docker-compose-syno-host.yaml to docker-compose.yaml and copy env_example.txt to .env (and edit .env)

2. Run sudo docker-compose up -d

Synology

Using any other images, I could not get Pi-Hole and Unbound to work until I made my own repo. Using this method, you can see all individual client IPs, and use the same hostname as your Synology NAS does.

Prerequisites

• SSH Enabled
• Portainer tl;dr sudo docker run -p 8000:8000 -p 9000:9000 --detach --name=portainer --restart=always -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /volume1/docker/portainer:/data portainer/portainer-ce:latest

Instructions

1. In Portainer, create a new stack called pihole-unbound
2. Select git repo: https://git.dou.bet/iamdoubz/pihu
3. Change docker-compose.yml to docker-compose-syno-host.yaml
4. Create local copy of env_example.txt and edit it to match your environment
5. In Portainer, under Environment variables, switch into "Advanced mode", and paste contents of your updated env_example.txt file
6. I also opted to do Automatic updates every 168h (1 week)
7. Save settings
8. Pull and redeploy OR Deploy

Purpose

• Run recursive DNS server for added control for Pi-Hole
• Learn how to use Portainer
• Get this running on my Synology ds1512+
