a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking? (eviltoast.org)

Hi, i'm looking for a VPN that:

is easily deployable via a docker-compose
has an Android App and it doesn't drain the battery too much
hides as regular HTTPS traffic so it's not blockable by Firewalls. (I don't need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.)
Bonus: A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

https://github.com/TrustTunnel/TrustTunnel sounds interesting, but the PR for docker compose was closed.

Do you know something else?

the repos i've found do not look very trustworthy. https://github.com/2dust/v2rayNG https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-core well its chinese

Yes because they are all designed to evade the great firewall of China, which automatically catches almost all other VPN's and proxies.

Github is blocked in China. The fact that these repos are on Github and Chinese is proof of their effectiveness.

Xray-core is the one you want, very hard to block
