I just configure them to use the network stack from that container.
Can you explain how you do this (or link to a guide that you found useful)? Thanks
Comment on What's gluetun?

I’d seen gluetun mentioned but didn’t know what it was for until a moment ago.
I’ve heard of tailscale and at least know what that does but never used it.
I personally have a mullvad subscription. I have a container connected to that with wireguard, and then for services I want to use that VPN I just configure them to use the network stack from that container.
I’m not suggesting that my way is the best but it’s worked well for several years now.

services: qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent container_name: qbittorrent environment: - PUID=888 - PGID=888 - TZ=Australia/Perth - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - ./config:/config - /srv/downloads:/downloads restart: unless-stopped network_mode: "container:wg_out"
this is my compose.yml for a qbittorrent instance.
the part you’re interested in is the final line. There’s another container with the wireguard instance called “wg_out”. This network mode attaches this qbittorrent container to that wireguard container’s network stack.

Ah, docker compose makes it easy! Thanks.

That is essentially what gluetun does. It is a little simpler to set up given that it is all preinstalled and you just select your provider and details and it is done. And again, you just specify the network for other containers to use the gluetun service and it is done. Very simple, easy for using many services through one VPN connection, and available on things like CasaOS with simple setup.
