While I was poking around SteamOS, I tried to run wg-quick and was surprised to see it was preinstalled. I've been wanting to get into my Deck from my MacBook over a stable IP for a fair bit, and this means I can just add it to my private [fly.io](https://fly.io) network.
8
+
9
+
So I did that:
10
+
11
+
```
12
+
$ fly wg create personal yul mipha mipha.conf
13
+
```
14
+
15
+
And then I imported the config to my deck over normal SSH and activated it:
16
+
17
+
```
18
+
$ sudo cp mipha.conf /etc/wg-quick/fly0.conf
19
+
20
+
$ sudo systemctl enable --now wg-quick@fly0.service
21
+
```
22
+
23
+
And then I can ping it as normal:
24
+
25
+
```
26
+
$ ping6 fdaa:0:641b:a7b:9285:0:a:2502 -c4
27
+

```

Et voila! I'm in. Now it's easy to copy off the videos I got with Decky Recorder. Here's a few screenshots I've copied over:

Hope this gives you ideas!
