We provide more then 1 docker image to get, this will help you decide which one is best for you.
For stable versions instead of nightly or development please read README from the production branch!

tag	Branch	Example	Description
`latest`	production	`ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:latest` or `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy`	stable as possbile get bug fixes quickly when needed, deployed against `production`.
`13`	production	`ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:13`	same as latest, stick to a version tag.
`nightly`	master	`ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:nightly`	mostly unstable gets frequent package and code updates, deployed against `master`.
`development`	pull requests	`ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:development`	used for development, testing code from PRs before landing into `master`.

Installation

1. Install Docker

If you haven't installed Docker yet, install it by running:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
exit

And log in again.

2. Run WireGuard Easy

To automatically install & run wg-easy, simply run:

  docker run -d \
  --name=wg-easy \
  -e LANG=de \
  -e WG_HOST=<🚨YOUR_SERVER_IP> \
  -e PASSWORD_HASH=<🚨YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH> \
  -e PORT=51821 \
  -e WG_PORT=51820 \
  -v ~/.wg-easy:/etc/wireguard \
  -p 51820:51820/udp \
  -p 51821:51821/tcp \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  --cap-add=SYS_MODULE \
  --sysctl="net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1" \
  --sysctl="net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy

💡 Replace YOUR_SERVER_IP with your WAN IP, or a Dynamic DNS hostname.

💡 Replace YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH with a bcrypt password hash to log in on the Web UI. See How_to_generate_an_bcrypt_hash.md for know how generate the hash.

The Web UI will now be available on http://0.0.0.0:51821.

💡 Your configuration files will be saved in ~/.wg-easy

WireGuard Easy can be launched with Docker Compose as well - just download docker-compose.yml, make necessary adjustments and execute docker compose up --detach.

Updating

To update to the latest version, simply run:

docker stop wg-easy
docker rm wg-easy
docker pull ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy

And then run the docker run -d \ ... command above again.

With Docker Compose WireGuard Easy can be updated with a single command: docker compose up --detach --pull always (if an image tag is specified in the Compose file and it is not latest, make sure that it is changed to the desired one; by default it is omitted and defaults to latest).
The WireGuared Easy container will be automatically recreated if a newer image was pulled.
