What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Docker image that runs Pi-hole (network-wide ad blocker) with an integrated Unbound recursive DNS resolver in a single container. It is the maintained successor to the deprecated cbcrowe/pihole-unbound image, built on the official Pi-hole container.

Use cases

  • block ads across my whole home network
  • run pi-hole and unbound in one docker container
  • set up a private recursive dns resolver
  • self-host a dns server with ad blocking
  • replace my isp's dns with a privacy-focused resolver
  • deploy pi-hole with docker compose

When to choose

  • you want Pi-hole and Unbound in a single container without linking separate containers
  • you want a maintained image with automated builds and consistent version tags matching official Pi-hole releases
  • you deploy via Docker Compose on a home server or NAS

When to avoid

  • you need a bare-metal or native Pi-hole installation rather than Docker
  • you prefer running Pi-hole and Unbound as separate containers for independent scaling
  • you need features beyond what the official Pi-hole container supports
