2. Troubleshooting Logs

Works:

docker run -d \

  -e TZ=Europe/London `#optional` \
  -p 53:53/tcp -p 53:53/udp \
  -p 80:80/tcp `#Pi-hole web interface port` \
  -e WEBPASSWORD='pihole' `#better to use single quotes` \
  -v "${PWD}/etc-pihole:/etc/pihole" \
  --restart=always \
  rlabinc/pihole-unbound:latest

Doesn't Work:

Leaves container in a reboot loop

I also noticed this when I was trying to deploy the container into a Kubernetes cluster, at first I thought it was an issue with my manifests but when I tried it locally it gave me the same behavior. Once I defined the volume for unbound per the readme it starting rebooting and wouldn't come up. Am I missing something?

[origamiofficial]

You can create a directory with the name opt-unbound-etc-unbound & move everything from ${PWD}/opt/unbound/etc/unbound, just like you did with etc-pihole. And then use -v "${PWD}/opt-unbound-etc-unbound:/opt/unbound/etc/unbound"

I was hoping that it would prepopulate default configurations. I just looked at the upstream unbound and it does the same thing so think this is the current expected behavior.

Pre-populating is a bit more difficult with my particular use case since I'm using a Kubernetes cluster with longhorn which does dynamic volume assignment. I'm just guessing but I probably have to spin pihole-unbound pod up, let it fail, down that pod leave leave the volume behind. Finally, mount that volume to another pod (unrelated to pihole) make the changes there detach that volume and then re-spin up the pihole-unbound pod. I'll figure something out thanks though!

@jhomen368 I've misread the logs first. It correctly found the unbound.conf but seems the a-records.conf and srv-records.conf files are missing in your custom directory. Copy the missing files a-records.conf and srv-records.conf into the same directory as the unbound.conf file inside the container. Your issue will be fixed.

[jhomen368]

I put in a feature request for the upstream unbound container https://github.com/MatthewVance/unbound-docker/issues/171.

[origamiofficial]

I'm working on it, soon image will be updated.

[jhomen368]

Thanks! I really appreciate it

Pushed hot fix updated image!
