Unbound Shout Out to all the Developers and Maintainers of Unbound_Manager

I just want to do a shout out to all the developers (and users contributing) of unbound_manager.

I recently tried to install a fresh RaspberryPi OS on a spare Pi 4 I had. I haven't been running Unbound on my router or any other device for some time.
I am planning on migrating a bunch of local scripts and cron job off my router (AX88U Pro) and onto the Pi4.
Before I started I decided - why not install Unbound as well. After going through at least 5 site that go through the process (and for some reason, everyone insists on Pi-Hole as well...) all I ever get is SERVFAIL. Some debugging shows all the root servers responding with THROWAWAY.

Tried an older version of Pi OS (Bullseye instead of Bookworm). Marginally better but still wont do a lookup.

So, went back to installing unbound_mananger on my router. Up, running and serving within minutes.

If this script was available for Debian Linux you guys would be heros.
 
No issues running Unbound on two Raspberry Pi's (loaded with Bullseye) along side Pi-Hole. Followed this guide: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/
Left the /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/pi-hole.conf file at default values.
