wireguard-install VS docker-wireguard

it's very easy to setup your own VPN on your own server. I'm using AWS Lightsail because of virtually unlimited bandwidth and the locations I like, but any VPS would work well. I used to have my own scripts but I found this lately which is doing this much better than what I was doing https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

The only advantage of professional VPN is the ability to use obfuscation, so to bypass VPN restrictions in countries like Egypt or others.

You can either set each up yourself, or there are a variety of containers available. A chatbot of your choice can likely guide you through it, since it'll depend on your specific network setup and how exactly you'd like it configured.

AdGuardHome is fairly straightforward: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome?tab=readme-ov-fil...

And here is a nice script to install wireguard: https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

And you'll likely need to forward the WireGuard port.

Btw you can try this script..

If you want an easy setup I suggest using a script like this. Even a novice should be able to set up Wireguard in about half an hour - assuming they already have a DynDNS service set up.

Really depends on what you want to do. I run an Ubuntu server VM with Wireguard (my preferred script) , an openmediavault VM to take care or my NAS, HDDs (SATA controller is passed through) with mergerFS+Snapraid) and it also serves as my docker host, pihole VM for DNS (also allows you create your own, local DNS entries so you do not have to use the device's IP)

Yes, and no. Server security is a rather complex topic and covering it in a few sentences is impossible. Try to expose as few of your services as possible to the open web and also ensure they are well maintained - on your side (AKA update your stuff regular) and on the dev side. Seeing that the last github update was over ~6 months ago likely means there are unmitigated security risks. You can expect large projects like Plex, Nextcloud, Bitwarden(Vaultwarden), and others to be built well enough that they do not pose a significant risk. Anything else should only be accessible over a VPN. I am not talking about the commercial ones like PIA or NordVPN. These are mainly useful to circumvent geo restrictions, get better peering, and some other stuff. In terms of security, it does almost nothing despite what the ads claim. What I am talking about is running your own VPN server. Easily doable when you run a home server anyway by running a Wireguard script. By connecting to it remotely you will be able to access your home network as if you were at home although a bit bandwidth limited due to slow internet connections.

but if you don't then this is probably fine as well but I never used it https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install

It’s probably better to just use the wireguard docker container setup instructions now: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard?tab=readme-o...

I'm running linuxserver/docker-wireguard in Docker via docker-compose. It works great and I can access anything on my LAN via IP or DNS from my phone.

I'm trying to set up a Wireguard VPN server on an 2020 M1 Mac Mini running Fedora Asahi server through Docker.

You can add one to the docker compose file and then route other containers (especially qbittorrent) through it by setting network-mode. Read about it here: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard

I checked /etc/sysctl.conf on the pi itself, and all lines are commented. Same on the docker container when I exec -it into it. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard is the container I use

FWIW there is https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-wireguard/tree/alpine, which does just that really. It's a little more complicated because it still supports all the peer config envs, etc. but it's much smaller than the normal image because it doesn't have support for compiling and enabling the kernel module.
