I’d recommend passing the config file directly, as in:

  "-c" #$(local-file "unbound.conf")

instead of storing it in /etc.  It’s “cleaner” in that you can tell
precisely which config file unbound loaded.

Do you have additional info as to why it doesn’t start?  Perhaps error
messages in /var/log/messages or something?

Thanks,
