A basic, self-contained management service for [WireGuard](https://wireguard.com) with a self-serve web UI.
Current stable release: [v1.1.0](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui/releases/tag/v1.1.0)
## Features
* Self-serve and web based
* QR-Code for convenient mobile client configuration
* Optional multi-user support behind an authenticating proxy
* Zero external dependencies - just a single binary using the wireguard kernel module
* Binary and container deployment

## Running
The easiest way to run wg-ui is using the container image. To test it, run:
```docker run --rm -it --privileged --entrypoint "/wireguard-ui" -v /tmp/wireguard-ui:/data -p 8080:8080 -p 5555:5555 embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:latest --data-dir=/data --log-level=debug```
When running in production, we recommend using the latest release as opposed to `latest`.
Important to know is that you need to have WireGuard installed on the machine in order for this to work, as this is 'just' a UI to manage WireGuard configs.
### Configuration
You can configure wg-ui using commandline flags or environment variables.
To see all available flags run:
```
docker run --rm -it embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:latest -h
./wireguard-ui -h
```
You can alternatively specify each flag through an environment variable of the form `WIREGUARD_UI_<FLAG_NAME>`, where `<FLAG_NAME>` is replaced with the flag name transformed to `CONSTANT_CASE`, e.g.
```docker run --rm -it embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:latest --log-level=debug```
and
```docker run --rm -it -e WIREGUARD_UI_LOG_LEVEL=debug embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:latest```
are the same.
## Docker images
There are two ways to run wg-ui today, you can run it with kernel module installed on your host which is the best way to do it if you want performance.
```
docker pull embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:latest
```
If you however do not have the possibility or interest in having kernel module loaded on your host, there is now a solution for that using a docker image based on wireguard-go. Keep in mind that this runs in userspace and not in kernel module.
```
docker pull embarkstudios/wireguard-ui:userspace
```
Both images are built for `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64` and `linux/arm/v7`. If you would need it for any other platform you can build wg-ui binaries with help from the documentation.
## Install without Docker
You need to have WireGuard installed on the machine running `wg-ui`.
Unless you use the userspace version with docker you're required to have WireGuard installed on your host machine.
A few installation guides:
[Ubuntu 20.04 LTS](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-20-04-set-up-wireguard-vpn-server/)
[CentOS 8](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-8-set-up-wireguard-vpn-server/)
[Debian 10](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-10-set-up-wireguard-vpn-server/)
### Go installation (Debian)
