About WireGuard Server

WireGuard is the modern VPN protocol that is gradually replacing OpenVPN thanks to its simplicity, performance and minimal codebase (4,000 lines vs 400,000 for OpenVPN). Deployed on your ServOrbit VPS, WireGuard Server creates a secure private network for your team, without going through a third-party relay.

The template configures WireGuard with WireGuard Easy (wg-easy) — a web interface that greatly simplifies peer management (adding, removing, QR codes for mobile). Your team members connect via the official WireGuard app available on all platforms.

Guide

Deploy WireGuard Server on your VPS

  1. Create the VPS

    VPS with 1 GB RAM, Ubuntu 24.04. The dedicated ServOrbit IPv4 is the address of your WireGuard server.

  2. Deploy wg-easy

    Create a docker-compose.yml with the ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy image. Set WG_HOST to your IPv4 and PASSWORD for the web interface.

  3. Start and connect

    Launch with docker compose up -d. The web interface is accessible on port 51821.

  4. Add clients

    In the interface, create one peer per user. Each user scans the QR code with the WireGuard app on their phone or imports the .conf file on desktop.
