So, here’s what I set up:
Docker with some containers behind Gluetun
Gluetun gives access to the local network so I can access the containers on my home network through http.
The only port I exposed to the internet is the 32400 for Plex.
I reach my home network remotely only through Wireguard, my fritzbox router has a guided setupt that gives me a wg configuration so I just scanned the QR code with my phone. I learned this opens the default wg port.
Now, you can never be 100% safe, but is my simple setup safe/solid enough?
9 times out of 10 I thinker with it when I am at home
It’s still a work in progress and I am open to any kind of suggestions
Honestly, you’re just making more limitations and overhead by running everything over tunnels locally. There are better ways to secure your local network. If this works for you, and you don’t want to bother with extra steps, just go for it though.
The downsides are performance, and a lot of extra hurdles trying to get other things to interface with any of the other services.
You’ll also be at a disadvantage coming to forums and asking for help, because the preface will be explaining your setup before anyone can really help you with issues.
If you use WireGuard for local access, I don’t think you need to open any port on your firewall, unless you are sharing your plex with other people that do not have access via WireGuard. But I know just enough to get me in trouble, so I’m sure I’ll be corrected on this.
No, you are correct. If you are the only person accessing the service you don’t need to open any ports since you access your network via Wireguard anyway.
