Hey r/selfhosted!

Living in a country with restrictive internet policies while trying to run my *arr stack has been… challenging. After getting frustrated with the usage complexity of existing VPN solutions, I decided to build something myself.

Meet GlueLESS - a Docker container that routes traffic through VLESS/Xray-XTLS protocol while maintaining gluetun’s interface patterns. It’s designed to drop right into your existing docker-compose setups without breaking a sweat. Well, at least for some basic use cases.

Why I built this:

  • Needed something lightweight that wouldn’t eat my server resources
  • Wanted seamless integration with qBittorrent/Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr without reconfiguring everything
  • VLESS with XTLS Reality is incredibly effective at bypassing DPI
  • Existing solutions felt unreliable for my use case

This is an MVP and definitely not production-ready yet! I’m sharing early because I think the concept could help others in similar situations. The project uses hiddify-core under the hood (shoutout to the hiddify team!). I’d appreciate some feedback or/and contribution :)
