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:
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 [email protected]
[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}
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/${RC_SVCNAME}.pid
command_background=yes
EOF
chmod +x wgui
Apply it
rc-service wgui start
rc-update add wgui default
Set WGUI_MANAGE_RESTART=true
to manage Wireguard interface restarts.
Using WGUI_MANAGE_START=true
can also replace the function of wg-quick@wg0
service, to start Wireguard at boot, by
running the container with restart: unless-stopped
. These settings can also pick up changes to Wireguard Config File
Path, after restarting the container. Please make sure you have --cap-add=NET_ADMIN
in your container config to make
this
feature work.
Go to the project root directory and run the following command:
docker build --build-arg=COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) -t wireguard-ui .
or
docker compose build --build-arg=COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
ℹ️ A container image is avaialble on Docker Hub which you can pull and use
docker pull ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui
Prepare the assets directory
./prepare_assets.sh
Then build your executable
go build -o wireguard-ui
