This Docker deployment runs both Pi-Hole and Unbound in a single container.
The base image for the container is the official Pi-Hole container, with an extra build step added to install the Unbound resolver directly into to the container based on instructions provided directly by the Pi-Hole team.
First create a .env file to substitute variables for your deployment.
Vars and descriptions replicated from the official pihole container:
| Variable | Default | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
TZ |
UTC | <Timezone> |
Set your timezone to make sure logs rotate at local midnight instead of at UTC midnight. |
WEBPASSWORD |
random | <Admin password> |
http://pi.hole/admin password. Run docker logs pihole | grep random to find your random pass. |
FTLCONF_LOCAL_IPV4 |
unset | <Host's IP> |
Set to your server's LAN IP, used by web block modes and lighttpd bind address. |
REV_SERVER |
false |
<"true"|"false"> |
Enable DNS conditional forwarding for device name resolution |
REV_SERVER_DOMAIN |
unset | Network Domain | If conditional forwarding is enabled, set the domain of the local network router |
REV_SERVER_TARGET |
unset | Router's IP | If conditional forwarding is enabled, set the IP of the local network router |
REV_SERVER_CIDR |
unset | Reverse DNS | If conditional forwarding is enabled, set the reverse DNS zone (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24) |

2022-3-11: I'm being told that the advice below is no longer true in Portainer. If you're using Portainer, first try it without removing the volumes declaration and see if it works.
Portainer stacks are a little weird and don't want you to declare your named volumes, so remove this block from the top of the docker-compose.yaml file before copy/pasting into Portainer's stack editor:
volumes:
etc_pihole-unbound:
etc_pihole_dnsmasq-unbound:docker-compose up -dIf using Portainer, just paste the
docker-compose.yamlcontents into the stack config and add your environment variables directly in the UI.
