How to Self-Host WireGuard

Step-by-step installation instructions, docker compose configuration, and server prerequisites for WireGuard.

← back to info
overview & requirements

Prerequisites

  • A virtual private server (VPS) running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or similar Linux distribution
  • Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed
  • A domain name (A Record) pointing to your server's IP address

Quick Start Configuration

Create a docker-compose.yml file on your server:

version: "3.8"
services:
  wireguard:
    image: wireguard/wireguard:latest
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - PORT=8080
      - NODE_ENV=production

Run the deployment command:

docker compose up -d

Setup reverse proxy rules (Nginx/Caddy) to handle domain traffic and SSL certification hooks.

installation steps
1
Server Configuration

Ensure your server meets the requirements and install Docker + Docker Compose packages.

2
Docker Compose Setup

Write a docker-compose.yml configuration specifying wireguard services and port definitions.

3
Reverse Proxy & HTTPS

Configure a web server (e.g., Caddy or Nginx Proxy Manager) to point your domain to the Docker container with automatic SSL.
