wg-manager

The wg-manager provides an easy-to-use graphical web interface to import, setup, and manage WireGuard server(s). See Here

The features of wg-manager includes:

Server

IPv4 and IPv6 support
Create/Delete/Modify
Start/Stop/Restart server
Import existing configurations
Export server config, along with client config as zip.

Peer

Create/Delete/Modify
Bandwidth usage statistics
Export by QRCode, Text
Authentication via API-Keys for automation (Created in GUI)
Automatic setup using docker

General

Modify Admin User
Create and manage API-Keys

Dependencies

Linux Kernel >= 5.6 (Alternatively: wireguard-dkms)

Common Installation Steps

Enable ip forwarding:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # IPV4 Support
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1  # IPV6 Support

For persistent configuration:

cat > /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf << EOF
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
EOF

It is recommended to have a firewall protecting your servers

Notes

A few people has experienced issues with running the dockerized method using bridged networking. To workaround this, you can use network_mode: host. Note that you can no longer reverse-proxy the web interface from reverse proxies such as jwilder/nginx-proxy.

Method #1: Docker-compose

version: "2.1"
services:
  wireguard:
    container_name: wg-manager
    image: perara/wg-manager
    restart: always
    sysctls:
      net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6: 0  # Required for IPV6
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    #network_mode: host # Alternatively
    ports:
       - 51800-51900:51800-51900/udp
       - 8888:8888
    volumes:
      - ./wg-manager:/config
    environment:
      HOST: 0.0.0.0
      PORT: 8888
      ADMIN_PASSWORD: admin
      ADMIN_USERNAME: admin
      WEB_CONCURRENCY: 1

or plain docker here or build docker image from github

Method #2: Bare Metal

Installation on Debian/Ubuntu/RPI4

Using the development branch

As there is no builds for the development branch, you have to do the following: Change image: perara/wg-manager to

build:
      context: https://github.com/perara/wg-manager.git#dev

Guides

Usage

When docker container/server has started, go to http://localhost:8888

API Docs

The API docs is found here.

API-Keys

Login to wg-manager
Go to edit profile
Create API-Key and take note of the key. Use the X-API-Key header to authenticate.
Example: curl -i -H "X-API-Key: <key-goes-here>" http://<host>:<port>/api/v1/users/api-key/list
Example 2: curl -X POST "http://<host>:<port>/api/v1/peer/configuration/add" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: <api-key-here>" -d "{\"server_interface\":\"wg0\"}"

Client Mode

wg-manager can also run in client-mode, with near-automatic setup and connection. To automatically setup the client, you will need:

wg-manager server url
name of the interface the client should run on
wg-manager server api key

You can setup multiple clients using the numbered environment variables. The following configuration runs a server and client automatically:

version: "2.1"
services:

  server:
    container_name: wg-manager
    build: .
    restart: always
    sysctls:

    #network_mode: host # Alternatively

Q&A

I'm trying to start the device but recieve the message: Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.. Try: modprobe ip6table_nat on the host.
