Not really haha, you could say I followed a tutorial for setting up a wireguard server on a VPS, and then once I had the wireguard container running and my homelab boxes as clients, I started up an haproxy container on the VPS with network_mode: "service:wireguard" so that the wireguard container can also see my homelab boxes through the tunnel, then also added ports 80 and 443 to the wireguard container on the VPS (in addition to the 51820 for incoming wireguard connections) - that has to be on the wireguard container because using network_mode means the haproxy container piggy backs on the wireguard container’s network, then I added a simple haproxy config that listens on 80/443 on the VPSes public IP and proxies it to the appropriate box on the other side of the tunnel.

For the wireguard config, the key seems to be using mode tcp in any backend or frontend that’s connected to port 443, so that it just proxies raw data without doing termination. With SNI, you can even proxy to different wireguard clients based on domain, because SNI exposes the domain without needing to do termination. So I do that because I have my NAS as well as a NUC connected to the wireguard network hosting different things.

This is a stripped down version of my haproxy config:

global
    maxconn     20000
    log         127.0.0.1 local0
    daemon

defaults
    mode http
    timeout connect 10s
    timeout client 1m
    timeout server 1m
    maxconn 8000
    option tcpka
    option tcp-smart-connect
    default-server init-addr last,libc,none

resolvers docker
    parse-resolv-conf

frontend ingress_http
    bind :::80
    bind :80

    acl h_secondbox_http hdr(host) -i second.box.example.com
    use_backend secondbox_http if h_secondbox_http

    default_backend vault_http

frontend ingress_https
    mode tcp
    bind :::443
    bind :443
    tcp-request inspect-delay 5s
    tcp-request content accept if { req_ssl_hello_type 1 }

    acl h_secondbox_https req_ssl_sni -i second.box.example.com
    use_backend secondbox_https if h_secondbox_https

    default_backend vault_https

backend vault_http
    server vault_server_http 10.13.13.2:80 send-proxy-v2
backend vault_https
    mode tcp
    server vault_server_https 10.13.13.2:443 send-proxy-v2

backend secondbox_http
    server secondbox_server_http 10.13.13.3:80 send-proxy-v2
backend secondbox_https
    mode tcp
    server secondbox_server_https 10.13.13.3:443 send-proxy-v2

The way this is set up, I do have to manually enter every subdomain I want to go to my second box, but the default is to route to my main vault, which is where I host most stuff anyways.

My docker compose on the VPS is pretty simple:

services:
  wireguard:
    image: linuxserver/wireguard:latest
    container_name: wireguard
    restart: unless-stopped
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - SYS_MODULE
    environment:
      - PUID=0
      - PGID=0
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - SERVERURL=wg.example.com #optional
      - SERVERPORT=51820 #optional
      - PEERS=vault,secondbox #optional
      - PEERDNS=auto #optional

      - ALLOWEDIPS=10.13.13.1/24 #optional
      - PERSISTENTKEEPALIVE_PEERS=all #optional
      - LOG_CONFS=true #optional
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/wg-config:/config
    ports:
      - 51820:51820/udp
      - 80:80/tcp
      - 443:443/tcp
      - 8090:8090/tcp
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1

  haproxy:
    image: haproxy:lts
    container_name: haproxy
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "service:wireguard"
    depends_on:
      - wireguard
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/haproxy-config:/usr/local/etc/haproxy

Then on the local side I use the same network_mode: "service:wireguard" trick to link my traefik container to the wireguard container, that way traffic hitting ports 80/443 of the wireguard container which is on the tunnel is also seen by traefik:

services:

      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    networks:
      - ingress

  traefik:
    image: traefik:v2.11
    container_name: traefik
    restart: always
    network_mode: "service:boringtun"

I only use boringtun on this side because I think synology doesn’t or didn’t have the kernel module for wireguard and using the userspace mode made it work for me, otherwise you could probably just use the regular wireguard container. Also note that my docker network for communicating between traefik and stuff I’m exposing is ingress, which is specified both on the boringtun container as well as passed to traefik as providers.docker.network, I think that’s needed so that traefik can figure out the container IP of the containers you’re exposing. I also haven’t migrated to traefik v3 because I’m lazy.

Another note, there’s an annoying condition where if you reboot, it may fail to attach the traefik container to wireguard because it linked via network mode to the old container. Just doing compose down and up fixes it by recreating all the containers. But other than that which I haven’t encountered in a while it works really well. I’m not sure if that bug was fixed because I rarely reboot.
