Hi everyone! I'm trying to figure out the best way to add Unbound to my existing Pi-hole setup that runs on a macvlan network. Most documents I've found focus on bridge networks that use exposed ports, which doesn't really fit my situation. I'm wondering if the Unbound container should have its own unique IP address, or can it share the Pi-hole IP, kind of like how Gluetun and Transmission work together? Also, I'm curious about which Unbound image people are using since the one by mvance hasn't seen updates in quite a while. Or, would it be simpler to just run Unbound in its own separate compose? I really appreciate any advice or guidance you all can provide!

Running both Pi-hole and Unbound can be beneficial because Unbound acts as a recursive DNS server, which Pi-hole alone can't do. This setup can enhance privacy and potentially speed up DNS resolution. So stacking them is a solid choice, rather than using them separately.
Exactly! Having Unbound means you can avoid relying on external DNS resolvers, which adds a layer of privacy and performance.
