## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: networking, self-hosted, security, container-runtime
- domain: networking, privacy, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
