However, this means that Wireguard _must_ be installed on the host operating system for this container to work properly. Instructions for installing Wireguard can be found [here](http://wireguard.com/install). + +You will need a configuration file for your Wireguard interface. Many VPN providers will create this configuration file for you. For example, [here](http://mullvad.net/en/download/wireguard-config) is the configuration generator for Mullvad. + +Now simply mount the configuration file and run: + +```bash +docker run --name wireguard \ + --cap-add=NET_ADMIN + -v /path/to/conf/mullvadus2.conf:/etc/wireguard/mullvadus2.conf + jordanpotter/wireguard +``` + +Afterwards, you can link other containers to this one: + +```bash +docker run -it --rm + --net=container:wireguard + appropriate/curl http://httpbin.org/ip +```
