+# README
+
+Demonstrate how to get wireguard setup to access a private docker network
+
+Prebuilt
+https://www.sonicwall.com/support/knowledge-base/how-can-i-set-up-a-wireguard-tunnel-using-a-docker-container/211025104453553/
+
+## Server
+
+```sh
+# build and run server
+docker build -f ./server/Dockerfile.server -t wireguard-server ./server  
+docker run --rm -it --name wireguard-server -p 41194:41194 wireguard-server /bin/bash           
+
+ip addr
+cat /etc/wireguard/privatekey 
+cat /etc/wireguard/publickey 
+
+# replace ip and privatekey
+nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf 
+```
+
+## Client
+
+```sh
+# build and run client
+docker build -f ./client/Dockerfile.client -t wireguard-client ./client/  
+docker run --rm -it wireguard-client /bin/bash   
+
+ip addr
+cat /etc/wireguard/privatekey 
+cat /etc/wireguard/publickey 
+nano /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf 
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Docker Compose App
+```sh
+docker compose up -d --build
+
+# quick test
+docker logs $(docker ps --filter name=wireguard_wgserver_1 -q)
+docker logs $(docker ps --filter name=wireguard_wgclient_1 -q) 
+```
+
+### Cleanup
+```sh
+# bring it down and delete the volume
+docker compose down --volumes
+```
+
+### Rebuild backend and run
+```sh
+# if changes are made to backend rerun
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
