Pihole + unbound in one container using OMV5?

PJO · Jun 8th 2021

This guide: [How To] OMV4 - Install Pi-Hole in Docker: Update 01/27/20 - Adding Unbound, a Recursive DNS Server contains instructions on using Unbound for DNS on OpenMediaVault v4.

It involves installing Unbound on the host.

I'm trying to get pihole and unbound working in one container with OMV5 (running on an Odroid HC2), using

Code

image: klutchell/unbound

I've got both pihole and unbound working ok in a container with a macvlan config via docker compose v2 but

Am unable to connect to the container via the console within Portainer (suggestions welcome)
The container state is "Healthy" but the container screen doesn't offer an option to start the container (because I'm using restart: unless-stopped ?)

Thanks for any advice and or working configuration (happy to share mine once I have debugged it).

To start click here. Does not work if the container is running already, obviously

This is my docker-compse:

Note that I am using a custom configuration for ubound. You can as well use the default.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I clicked in the right place. I get exited immediately. Thanks for the copy of your config I will compare with mine when I get a moment; been tied up since I posted.

I use a MACVlan to avoid conflicts with other services running on that host and the host itself.

You might want to have a look at this:

So am I correct in using an ip scheme that is outside of the normal 192.168.1.1?

Try using just another IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.200. Not sure if it is mandatory, but that is how I do it. (Maybe somebody else can give an answer)

My router has the address 192.168.0.1 and pihole/unbound have 192.168.0.13 and .14

Make sure to read the linked page. Some additional configuration is needed.
