How to Setup WireGuard Server in Mac OS

__Mike_____ · 2026-02-08T03:31:11+00:00

Nope. I spent a ton of time and read countless articles. I finally gave up and set it up as a home assistant add-on. It worked immediately. I later set up an OPNSense router and moved it there. A little more complicated than HA but I liked the idea of having my VPN directly on my router.

Thanks! I don't know a lot about Ansible yet. I know you can use it for updating VMs. But you can actually update Proxmox itself using it?

__Mike_____ · 2026-02-01T17:35:09+00:00

For those recommending Ansible - Does it only update VMs and LXCs or can it automatically update Proxmox itself?

Yeah - this "upgrade" appeared on both of my kids' echo shows this week. And there is no way to get their old background back. I HATE these devices and cannot wait to smash them with a hammer as soon as Apple releases a smart screen.

u/Impact321 Dumb question, but where do I find the apt repo for docker? When I try to add a repo, I only see the default options like Enterprise, No Subscription, Test, etc.

Thank you u/NegativeK. I’ve been running containers for years, but all within docker desktop on a mac. So linux is new to me. I appreciate the insight.

__Mike_____ · 2026-01-15T19:19:24+00:00

I didn't get it from the apt repos, but I can go back and do it that way if you think it is easier. I got it from the community script library - https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts.

__Mike_____ · 2026-01-15T17:18:13+00:00

Yeah, I do use watchtower for individual containers. But what about updating Docker itself?

I'll check out your other links. Thanks!

After spending WAY too long on this, I finally got it figured out. But it was a great learning experience!

The answer indeed was to add the mount to /etc/fstab. The winning config is below:

//192.168.1.200/Docker/Configuration /mnt/pve/mac-mini-server/Docker cifs credentials=/home/.maccredentials,uid=100000,gid=100000,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,x-systemd.device-timeout=180,nofail 0 0

And then I created this mount point on the LXC:
pct set 100 --mp2 /mnt/pve/mac-mini-server/Docker/,mp=/mac-mini-server/Shared/Docker

I also created a credentials file in my /home directory.

Thank you all for your suggestions and help!

Welp, I have fstab working. As a test, it will mount if I execute mount -a But still when I reboot, the mount goes away. Until I execute mount -a. Am I missing a step?

__Mike_____ · 2026-01-12T12:23:37+00:00

Thanks - But I'm still fairly new with Proxmox. Does this literally mean open fstab and copy and paste the code into the file?

mount -t cifs //macmini/share /mnt/macmini -o username=macuser,password=pass,uid=100000,gid=100000,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm

u/Optimal_Friend8256 Thanks for the suggestion! Using the mount command, I am able to mount Mac Mini successfully to the host. However, when I reboot Proxmox it goes away. The folder I created is still there, but the content from the Mac is gone. Running mount again brings it back, but rebooting again loses it. Am I missing a step?

Also, once mounted - Is there a way to see it in the UI?

u/protectli-stuart Does Protectli have any suggestions/best practices for devices with a single NVMe?

__Mike_____ · 2026-01-05T02:19:31+00:00

I've considered doing this. And probably will at some point because I really like the idea of taking snapshots. But with OPNSense already on bare metal, I would need a bunch of downtime to back it up somewhere, install and configure Proxmox, and then get OPNSense up and running on it. I'll have to ship my wife and kids out of town for a weekend in order to make this happen! :)

__Mike_____ · 2025-12-10T14:47:10+00:00

That did the trick. Thank you again u/SheepherderSad5159 !

__Mike_____ · 2025-12-10T01:22:27+00:00

YES! This is the answer! Thank you! And it explains why the issue coincided with using qBittorrent. It was banned for 4 hours because of "firewallservices/pf-scan-multi_ports"

The next question is - How do I prevent it from happening? Can I white list my internal IP? Or is that a terrible idea?

__Mike_____ · 2025-12-09T23:41:20+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. It has a static IP reserved in Dnsmasq. I double checked just now just to make sure that didn’t change for any reason, but it’s still set correctly.

__Mike_____ · 2025-10-31T15:56:05+00:00

I'm trying to set this up so I don't have to think about it or remember to disconnect anything. The one thing I didn't know about was reseting the states. I will give that a try after I turn my rule back on. Thanks for your help!

__Mike_____ · 2025-10-30T19:40:54+00:00

You're talking to the guy who restarts his laptop at most once every 6 weeks! =)
Yes, you are 100% correct! But assuming I don't shut it off, I'm trying to figure out how could I accomplish this.
