I'm a noob to self-hosting, I have set up some containers but only through watching tutorials on youtube, in reality I barely understand what I'm doing.

I have a wireguard docker container set up, but when I connect to it with my phone, there's no internet.

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I just want to access my server outside my home network.

Here is the docker-compose.

version: "2.1" services: wireguard: image: linuxserver/wireguard container_name: wireguard cap_add: - NET_ADMIN - SYS_MODULE environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Asia/Singapore - SERVERURL=auto #optional - SERVERPORT=51820 #optional - PEERS=1 #optional - PEERDNS=auto #optional - INTERNAL_SUBNET=10.13.13.0 #optional volumes: - ./config:/config - /lib/modules:/lib/modules ports: - 51820:51820/udp sysctls: - net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1 restart: unless-stopped

Please tell me if there is anymore information I need to provide.

EDIT: fellas i figured it out, i just had to port foward 51820 on my router :sob: thank you for your help in the comments

Tailscale is an excellent answer here. They use wireguard as the vpn protocol, but add layers of extra control.

You can use it in sidecar config for each container, or setup a subnet router, which lets you route any IP over the VPN. Just target that IP with a /32 cidr, i.e tailscale up --advertise-routes:192.168.1.100/32.
