A Docker container image from LinuxServer.io that packages WireGuard, a fast and modern VPN, for easy self-hosted deployment. It provides a preconfigured environment to run a WireGuard server or client with regular updates and simple user/permission mappings.

Use cases

  • set up a self-hosted wireguard vpn server in docker
  • run wireguard client inside a container
  • create a secure tunnel for remote access to my home network
  • deploy a personal vpn on a vps
  • connect remote devices through a wireguard tunnel
  • route container traffic through a vpn

When to choose

  • you want a maintained, easy-to-deploy wireguard container with regular updates
  • you need a self-hosted vpn server or client on a docker-capable host
  • you want PUID/PGID-style configuration consistent with other LinuxServer.io images

When to avoid

  • you need a full mesh VPN solution with identity management like Tailscale
  • your host cannot provide the kernel modules or /dev/net/tun access wireguard requires
  • you prefer managing wireguard natively on the host without containers
