Origamiofficial's Pihole-Unbound Community Applications Template

 

Welcome to the support page of the Origamiofficial's Pihole-Unbound Community Applications template. This template installs Pi-Hole & Unbound in the same docker container.  The repo aims for daily updates, so that your pihole & unbound versions always stay up to date.

 

Pi-hole includes a caching and forwarding DNS server, now known as FTLDNS. After applying the blocking lists, it forwards requests made by the clients to configured upstream DNS server(s). However, this leads to some privacy concerns as it ultimately raises questions about whom you trust with the all the dns lookup data from your household.

 

You have a few options of whom to trust:
 

1.  Your ISP

Pi-hole -> FTLDNS -> Your ISP -> Authoratative Server

Pros - Easy.  Works out of the box.  Just plugin and turn on your ISP provided setup.

Cons - Your ISP is collecting all your DNS searches, building a profile on you, and selling that data.

 

2. A third party DNS service (ie. Quad9, Cloudflare, Google, etc).

Pi-hole -> FTLDNS -> Cloudflare -> Authoratative Server

Pros - You're circumventing your ISP

Cons - You're still trusting a third party company, so choose carefully.

 

3. Run your own recursive DNS server, like Unbound! (.....Aka this container!)

Pi-hole -> FTLDNS -> Unbound -> Authoritative Server

Pros - You're circumventing your ISP.  You're not trusting a 3rd party.  You're self hosting Unbound.  If Unbound doesn't have the DNS record cached already, it'll go upstream directly to the Authoritative Server.  No intermediaries!

Cons - No Authoratative Servers support DOT/DOH yet.

 

I am happy to help to the best of my abilities, but I am only publishing this template to community apps to make it easy for other users.  See here for the official github page for the project and support documentation:
