## Introduction
**Pi-hole**:
- Pi-hole is a DNS sinkhole that protects your devices from unwanted content, without installing any client-side software.

**Unbound**:
- Unbound is a validating, recursive, caching DNS resolver. It is designed to be fast and lean and incorporates modern features based on open standards. 

**Hyperlocal**:
- To spare the initial DNS query to the DNS-Root-Servers by Unbound, we provide Unbound with an appropriate configuration. With each Pi-hole update, the DNS-Root-Zone (root.hints) is also updated. 

## Prerequisites
- Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- Install [Docker-Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
- Download the repository to your favored directory

## First startup
Copy example.env to .env and change the parameters
```
cp example.env .env
vi .env
```
Start the container
```
docker-compose up -d
```

### Testing
```
docker exec -it pihole-unbound bash
dig github.com @127.0.0.1 +short
dig sigfail.verteiltesysteme.net @127.0.0.1 | grep status 
dig sigok.verteiltesysteme.net @127.0.0.1 | grep status 
```
- First dig should show an IP address
- Second dig should show status: SERVFAIL
- Last dig should show status: NOERROR

### Additional configuration
Edit setupVars.conf
```
vi ./etc-pihole/setupVars.conf
```
and add
```
# Caching is done by unbound
CACHE_SIZE=0
```

#### resolv.conf
If you are using a self-created docker network or having problems with the pihole deployment inside the container, uncomment the following line in the docker-compose.yaml
```
#- ./resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf
```

### Restart the container
```
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
```
