⚠️The default username and password are admin. Please change it to secure your setup.

Using binary file

Download the binary file from the release page and run it directly on the host machine

./wireguard-ui

Using docker compose

The examples/docker-compose folder contains example docker-compose files. Choose the example which fits you the most, adjust the configuration for your needs, then run it like below:

docker-compose up

Environment Variables

Defaults for server configuration

These environment variables are used to control the default server settings used when initializing the database.

Defaults for new clients

These environment variables are used to set the defaults used in New Client dialog.

Docker only

These environment variables only apply to the docker container.

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:

Using systemd

Create /etc/systemd/system/wgui.service

cd /etc/systemd/system/
cat << EOF > 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
EOF

Create /etc/systemd/system/wgui.path

cd /etc/systemd/system/
cat << EOF > wgui.path
[Unit]
Description=Watch /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf for changes

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

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Apply it

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

Using openrc

Create /usr/local/bin/wgui file and make it executable

cd /usr/local/bin/
cat << EOF > wgui
#!/bin/sh
wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0
EOF
chmod +x wgui

Create /etc/init.d/wgui file and make it executable

cd /etc/init.d/
cat << EOF > 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
EOF
chmod +x wgui

Apply it

rc-service wgui start
rc-update add wgui default

Using Docker

Set WGUI_MANAGE_RESTART=true to manage Wireguard interface restarts. Using WGUI_MANAGE_START=true can also replace the function of wg-quick@wg0 service, to start Wireguard at boot, by running the container with restart: unless-stopped. These settings can also pick up changes to Wireguard Config File Path, after restarting the container. Please make sure you have --cap-add=NET_ADMIN in your container config to make this feature work.

Build

Build docker image

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

docker build --build-arg=GIT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) -t wireguard-ui .

or

docker compose build --build-arg=GIT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)

ℹ️ A container image is available on Docker Hub which you can pull and use

docker pull ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui

Build binary file

Prepare the assets directory

./prepare_assets.sh

Then build your executable

go build -o wireguard-ui
