wireguard-ui

A web user interface to manage your WireGuard setup.

Features

• Friendly UI
• Authentication
• Manage extra client's information (name, email, etc)
• Retrieve configs using QR code / file

Run WireGuard-UI

Default username and password are admin.

Using docker compose

You can take a look at this example of docker-compose.yml. Please adjust volume mount points to work with your setup. Then run it like below:

docker-compose up

Note:

There is a Status option that needs docker to be able to access the network of the host in order to read the wireguard interface stats. See the cap_add and network_mode options on the docker-compose.yaml

• using SendGrid API

SENDGRID_API_KEY: Your sendgrid api key

• using SMTP

SMTP_HOSTNAME
SMTP_PORT
SMTP_USERNAME
SMTP_PASSWORD
SMTP_AUTH_TYPE
EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS: the sender's email address
EMAIL_FROM_NAME: the sender's name

Using binary file

Download the binary file from the release and run it with command:

./wireguard-ui

Auto restart WireGuard daemon

WireGuard-UI only takes care of configuration generation. You can use systemd to watch for the changes and restart the service. Following is an example:

systemd

Create /etc/systemd/system/wgui.service

[Unit]
Description=Restart WireGuard
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart wg-quick@wg0.service

[Install]
RequiredBy=wgui.path

Create /etc/systemd/system/wgui.path

[Unit]
Description=Watch /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf for changes

[Path]
PathModified=/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Apply it

systemctl enable wgui.{path,service}
systemctl start wgui.{path,service}

openrc

Create and chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wgui

#!/bin/sh
wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0

Create and chmod +x /etc/init.d/wgui

#!/sbin/openrc-run

command=/sbin/inotifyd
command_args="/usr/local/bin/wgui /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf:w"
pidfile=/run/${RC_SVCNAME}.pid
command_background=yes

Apply it

rc-service wgui start
rc-update add wgui default

Build

Build docker image

Go to the project root directory and run the following command:

docker build -t wireguard-ui .

Build binary file

Prepare the assets directory

./prepare_assets.sh

Then you can embed resources by generating Go source code

rice embed-go
go build -o wireguard-ui

Or, append resources to executable as zip file

go build -o wireguard-ui
rice append --exec wireguard-ui
