What

A docker compose file that brings up pihole, unbound and searx.

What do I get?

• An authorative adblocking DNS server.
• Heavy DNS caching with prefetching.
• Serving from stale cache. (You will get DNS answers in the case that upstream is having issues.)
• A search engine that caches results from Google, Bing, Yahoo ect.

Requirements

Docker

Run

git clone https://github.com/buggysolid/local-network-services
cd local-network-services
docker-compose up -d

Use

The idea behind this setup is to run the services you want on the machine that will be using them.

For example if you are on a hotel network or public wifi.

You can use this to regain a small amount of privacy without needing a full fledged VPN.

SearX search.
PiHole Admin.

Set your primary and secondary DNS servers to the following.

127.0.0.1
127.0.0.2

This is assuming you are running the docker containers on the machine that you are going to use the services on. Which is my intention.
