Wireguard connecting 1:n docker containers for object storage (lemmy.giftedmc.com)

Hi folks, I'm trying to put my newly acquired HDDs to good use and at the same time manage the minuscule amount of storage my vps has. Since it is hosting several fedi services, I need some external storage and I figured I'd just tunnel some object storage from home.

So I set up a working wireguard connection from my homenetwork to the vps, connected the object storage (GarageHQ) to one end and probably will connect the fedi services (lemmy, mastodon, matrix, peertube) to the other.

Here comes the issue: do I have to make the respective wireguard instances a proxy for the services to be able to speak with each other or do I even have to make a site to site connection to connect the two docker networks?

The connection would look something like this: GarageHQ---WireguardHS---WireguardVPS---Mastodon|Mastodon---NginxPM---OpenWeb

Anyone got something like this to work so far? Am I overlooking something major?

Thanks for reading, have a good one.

Since nobody seems to have a solution handy I should share what I learned thus far:

This setup is essentially like the *arr suite and therefore I can use a similar configuration. The docker container of the object storage should be able to use the vpn container as a network device.

I‘m not totally sure how to do it on the other side since the n-containers have two network connections each, vpn and outside world, not to be mixed, for security reasons. Its probably not even a big deal but now its nearly done.

Its not implemented yet so its all theoretical. I might update once its done.
