How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Building images is easy enough. It's pretty similar to how you'd install or compile software directly on the host. Just write a Dockerfile that runs the hide.me install script. I found this repo and image which may work for you as is or as a starting point.
When you run the image as a container you can set it up as the network gateway, just find a tutorial on how to set up a Wireguard container and replace Wireguard with your hide.me container.
In terms of kill switches you'd have to see how other people have done it, but it's not impossible.
Wow I completely missed this one! This is exactly what I was planning to do! I actually installed the original repo because I'm not on arm, and it seem to work very well! I have to do a few tests to check if the killswitch actually works
thank you very very much!
I didn't even look to see if the one I linked was a fork. I'm glad it works!
A cool thing about Dockerfiles is that they're usually architecture agnostic. I think the one I linked is as well, meaning that the architecture is only locked in when the image is built for a specific one. In this case the repo owner probably only built it for arm machines, but a build for x86_64 should work as well.
