A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

The idea being; I can use a normal wireguard VPN from anywhere in the world to connect back to my homelab, all while being able to access stuff on my network, but also have my public IP address set by the gluetun container?

Anyone done this? Or have a docker conpose?

I'm not understanding what you're asking.

Why would you need gluetun?

So my public IP address changes. Using just wireguard makes my public IP just my home's public IP. It would be nice to be able to make it a 2-in-1 where my public IP becomes that of a paid VPN account, based on the gluetun container

So you just want a Wireguard server at home which is connected full-time to a VPN, and then you want to port-forward from that VPN back to your home Wireguard server? Dynamic DNS for your IP seems a lot more convenient and stable.
