gluetun VS multipass

I've been using the LSIO Webtop images for a few years. They're awesome for composable desktops that I run behind a VPN for a quick and easy dirty connection at home.

Combine the Webtop images by forcing it's traffic through the Gluetun [0] container and you're up and running. These Webtop containers are nice and snappy as well thanks to Kasm. Awesome OSS.

There is gluetun, https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun, which servers a similar purpose and supports ovpn and wireguard. It's mainly used with Docker to have namespace-based proxying of traffic for a container.

I have containers a,b,c. Container C is running Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) which is a VPN container.

The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.

One option I could find is Gluetun, which looks very popular and actively maintained. In this case we have one single point of contact with VPN provider. The other containers should be run with network_mode: service:gluetun. If I understand correctly, those container will use VPN for every network operation, even for inter-container communication. Would they be visible for the containers not attached to gluetun (e.g. the SWAG reverse proxy)?

Try setting it up. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun See if it works for your needs.

After some digging around, I found this project, which I think should get a lot more light on itself. It allows to setup port-forwarding on linux very easily, together with a lot of other things !

I setup Gluetun with qbittorrent in docker. Gluetun connects to the nord via manual login and I get to choose the specific servers I want it to you in its environment variables.

Download and Install Multipass Multipass makes creating and managing Ubuntu VMs extremely simple. Download it from the official website and follow the installation instructions for your OS.

I liked Multipass until I ran into storage corruption issues like many others [1][2] and broke all my VMs. On MacOS, Multipass uses qemu in which the apple-hvf support isn't getting much updates after 2021 [3].

Since we're here. What do people use when they need to test their software installs well on naked Ubuntu Server of some version? To not do manual setup in VMWare, can be Linux-only.

I've found Multipass https://multipass.run/ by Canonical and I wonder if anyone recommends it.

Install Multipass from https://multipass.run

Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

Multipass I love Multipass for quick Ubuntu instances spun up for testing or as a playground. Wish I would have known and used of it sooner.

If you just need Ubuntu then you can try "Multipass" from Canonical (https://multipass.run/). Works quite well on my M2 Air. I haven't tried using Linux GUI with it though as I need only terminal based VMs.
