From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I have a free account at hide.me and would like to try to use it with my docker compose containers. The free plan does not give me the keys for openVPN of Wireguard configuration, but only through the official client. I'd like then to create a docker container that runs the official hide.me client inside, and exposes it to other docker containers (like gluetun does, for instance). I'd also like to implement a killswitch or something like that to prevent ip leakage. Is this something easy-medium hard or something very complex? I already have a script that installs and runs the client to enable vpn that should be run at startup, but I miss the "expose the network interface" and the "do not expose it if not connected" (this last part I think is pretty easy with a basic firewall configuration)

any tips/something already done?
thanks in advance!

EDIT: probably crazy idea, but would it be possible to do this in gluetun?

Idk anything about those softwares, but I would bet if you set up the hide.me client in a container you could add it to the same network in compose then configure all the other containers to use it as their gateway... I'm probably missing some details and you may need to rebuild all of your containers, or maybe just change the network settings in your compose yaml?
