Simple Web based configuration generator for WireGuard.
All WireGuard UI implementations are trying to manage the service by applying configurations and creating network rules. This implementation only generates configuration and its up to you to create network rules and apply configuration to WireGuard. For example by monitoring generated directory with inotifywait.
The goal is to run Wg Gen Web in a container and WireGuard on host system.
- Self-hosted and web based
- Automatically select IP from the network pool assigned to client
- QR-Code for convenient mobile client configuration
- Sent email to client with QR-code and client config
- Enable / Disable client
- Generation of
wg0.confafter any modification - IPv6 ready
- User authentication (Oauth2 OIDC)
- Dockerized
- Pretty cool look
The easiest way to run Wg Gen Web is using the container image
docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/wireguard:/data -p 8080:8080 -e "WG_CONF_DIR=/data" vx3r/wg-gen-web:latest
Docker compose snippet, used for demo server, wg-json-api service is optional
version: '3.6'
services:
wg-gen-web-demo:
image: vx3r/wg-gen-web:latest
container_name: wg-gen-web-demo
restart: unless-stopped
expose:
- "8080/tcp"
environment:

- OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=******************
- OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=******************
- OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URL=https://wg-gen-web-demo.127-0-0-1.fr
volumes:
- /etc/wireguard:/data
wg-json-api:
image: james/wg-api:latest
container_name: wg-json-api
restart: unless-stopped
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
network_mode: "host"
command: wg-api --device wg0 --listen <API_LISTEN_IP>:8182
Please note that mapping /etc/wireguard to /data inside the docker, will erase your host's current configuration.
If needed, please make sure to backup your files from /etc/wireguard.
A workaround would be to change the WG_INTERFACE_NAME to something different, as it will create a new interface (wg-auto.conf for example), note that if you do so, you will have to adapt your daemon accordingly.
To get the value for <API_LISTEN_IP> take a look at the WireGuard Status Display section. If the status display should be disabled, remove the whole service from the docker-compose file or use 127.0.0.1 as <API_LISTEN_IP>.
Fill free to download latest artifacts from my GitLab server:
Put everything in one directory, create .env file with all configurations and run the backend.
Using systemd.path monitor for directory changes see systemd doc
# /etc/systemd/system/wg-gen-web.path
[Unit]
Description=Watch /etc/wireguard for changes
[Path]
PathModified=/etc/wireguard
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This .path will activate unit file with the same name
# /etc/systemd/system/wg-gen-web.service
[Unit]
Description=Reload WireGuard
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl reload [email protected]
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Which will reload WireGuard service
For any other init system, create a daemon running this script
#!/bin/sh
while inotifywait -e modify -e create /etc/wireguard; do
wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0
done
After first run Wg Gen Web will create server.json in data directory with all server informations.

Wg Gen Web can use Oauth2 OpenID Connect provider to authenticate users. Currently there are 4 implementations:
fakenot a real implementation, use this if you don't want to authenticate your clients.
Add the environment variable:
OAUTH2_PROVIDER_NAME=fake
githubin order to use GitHub as Oauth2 provider.
Add the environment variable:
OAUTH2_PROVIDER_NAME=github
OAUTH2_PROVIDER=https://github.com
OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=********************
OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=********************
OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URL=https://wg-gen-web-demo.127-0-0-1.fr
googlein order to use Google as Oauth2 provider. Not yet implemented
help wanted
oauth2oidcin order to use RFC compliant Oauth2 OpenId Connect provider.
Add the environment variable:
OAUTH2_PROVIDER_NAME=oauth2oidc
OAUTH2_PROVIDER=https://gitlab.com
OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID=********************
OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET=********************
OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URL=https://wg-gen-web-demo.127-0-0-1.fr
Wg Gen Web will only access your profile to get email address and your name, no other unnecessary scopes will be requested.
Wg Gen Web integrates a WireGuard API implementation to display client stats. In order to enable the Status API integration, the following settings need to be configured:
# https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api integration
WG_STATS_API=http://<API_LISTEN_IP>:8182
# Optional: Token Auth
WG_STATS_API_TOKEN=
# Optional: Basic Auth
WG_STATS_API_USER=
WG_STATS_API_PASS=
To setup the WireGuard API take a look at https://github.com/jamescun/wg-api/blob/master/README.md, or simply use the provided docker-compose file from above.
Due to the fact that the wg-api container operates on the host network, the wg-gen-web container cannot directly talk to the API. Thus the docker-host gateway IP of the wg-gen-web container has to be used. If the default bridge network (docker0) is used, this IP should be 172.17.0.1. If a custom network is used, you can find the gateway IP by inspecting the output of:
docker network inspect <network name>
Use the IP address found for Gateway as the API_LISTEN_IP.
Please feel free to test and report any bugs.

- Create an issue
From the top level directory run
$ go run main.go
Inside another terminal session navigate into the ui folder
$ cd ui
Install required dependencies
$ npm install
Set the base url for the api
$ export VUE_APP_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/api/v1.0
Start the development server. It will rebuild and reload the site once you make a change to the source code.
$ npm run serve
Now you can access the site from a webbrowser with the url http://localhost:8081.
