Wireguard on host or in Docker container?

• wg-ui

  Discontinued WireGuard Web UI for self-serve client configurations, with optional auth.

  

I run a lightweight VM just for wireguard with a kernel that has it built in. On the same VM I installed docker and run https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui which makes it way easier to create profiles.

  WireHole is a combination of WireGuard, Pi-hole, and Unbound in a docker-compose project with the intent of enabling users to quickly and easily create a personally managed full or split-tunnel WireGuard VPN with ad blocking capabilities thanks to Pi-hole, and DNS caching, additional privacy options, and upstream providers via Unbound.

Try Wirehole, runs wireguard + pihole in containers so you have the added bonus of ad blocking. Just run the docker-compose file and you're good to go.

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.
