> I saw the docker compose package, but I wanted something that runs at the OS level

For my curiosity: because you wanted to use systemd or didn't want to run another piece of software (docker) or something else?

I had wireguard on docker before for some containers, but it felt clunky and it over complicated the network stack in my head (I'm unfortunately not very skilled in networking in general). So I said that I'd go back to the root and run it at OS level because then I can expose Proxmox to the world or any of the other VMs I run by having them join the wireguard network. Which in turn means that I can connect to any machine I want/need directly. I am also playing around with writing my own dynamic DNS worker in C# and I was curious on how I could have that run as a systemd process but bypass the wireguard tunnel to keep updating IP addresses. A lot of these were tied to me just being a bit more curious about the whole stack.

Understood. Thank you!
