Hi all! Thank you for bringing this up. Not gonna lie I'm not a Docker user or an expert at all (i tried but failed) lol. If you have a good solution please let me know. I'm happy to provide help as I can :)

Yes this is what I meant i tried lol. Everytime when it restart, everything will just be gone, I couldn't figure out how to preserve data from previous session.

Please can you provide the information: Where is the data regarding matching peers from the wg0.conf to actual readable names stored by WireGuard Dashboard? Other than that, I have a functioning container. Doing some more devving. Persistency seems to work now.

Hi!👋🏻 So usually WireGuard will read the configuration at /etc/wireguard and it will use the file name as the configuration name. In some rare case it will generate a config name. So the dashboard will just read those file directly to get the data. Best, Donald Get Outlook for iOShttps://aka.ms/o0ukef

What I meant, is WGDash seems to store the public key to readable name somewhere. Wireguard configs do not store that by default. Either WGDash comments it in the wg0.conf or there is a file somewhere that keeps track of the names of the public keys, correct? Right now I just did it through persisting the /src directory.

For current state of the container; https://github.com/DaanSelen/WGDashboard-dockerized/tree/main/docker
You can also pull the image and run it from (temporarily) repo.nerthus.nl/app/wireguard-dashboard:latest (However this repo of mine is subject to change).

Hello everyone! I have been working on the docker image and I feel good about releasing or at least making known its docker pull-able from my own registry. For now, please refer to the compose.yaml file for instructions. I will be working on the markdown file in that directory soon.

More info (such as the compose.yaml/docker-compose.yaml) and source-code here:
https://github.com/DaanSelen/WGDashboard-dockerized/tree/main/docker

If you want to pull the image, use (for now) docker pull repo.nerthus.nl/app/wireguard-dashboard:latest.

Anyone willing to use or test the image, please give me feedback if you encounter something. You can always submit an issue on my forked repository or comment here.

@donaldzou I am curious to what your opinion will be. Persistency works through Docker Volumes, which remembers the state of the application after restarts AND recreations of the entire container, as long as the volumes are references correctly.
@ikidd If you still work with docker, and since you were the previous creator. Please review, if willing.

Kind regards, Daan Selen.

Hi @DaanSelen ! Thank you for working on the docker image. I will test it in few days and get back to you. I'm not familiar with Docker, but in my imagination, the image should create a Linux system, install it somewhere that won't remove after pausing the image.. kinda like a VM but running in Docker? correct me if i'm wrong lol.

Hi there, some help to get everyone started:

If you have Docker and Docker Compose installed, skip to step: 4.

Here are the instructions:

  1. Install a Linux system, you can choose the distribution yourself. You can also emulate/virtualize it on Windows using VMware Player or Oracle VirtualBox.
  2. Install Docker on that Linux system, ref: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
  3. Once Docker is installed, you can if you can run the command docker compose
  4. Once that works, copy only the compose.yaml from my fork of your repository. Its in the repository's /docker folder, ref: https://github.com/DaanSelen/WGDashboard-dockerized/blob/main/docker/compose.yaml
  5. Change the values in the compose if you want some specific things, or one of the features I built into the container. I really hope my tips in the file itself will help! If not, please tell me.
  6. Make sure you are in the same directory as the compose.yaml file. Then fill in docker compose up -d (This executes the instructions I have precompiled for the interface, -d meaning --detached, a.k.a. in the background).
  7. You should see the container alive and preferably with a (healthy) (if all is working as intended) mark behind the name when you type docker ps
  8. Ports 10086 and 51820 are being used by that container, if you did not change them in the compose file.
  9. Checking persistency is done through the docker volume ls command, you should see two entries. conf and app, these are stored on the system at /var/lib/docker/volumes if I am not mistaken.

Hopefully you can manage with these instructions! And if you like the result, I'd love to help contribute my knowledge to this project!

For other willing to test the image, everyone can follow these above instructions.
Kind regards, Daan Selen.

Hi,

I tried to run v4 in the docker for personal purposes and testing.
I updated a bit scripts and it works.
It's just a draft and I will continue to improve it.

@shuricksumy hi! Thanks for providing this. If I understand correctly, the dockerfile will only expose port 10086(dashboard) and 51820(wg)? So if I want to create a new wg config with port 51821, do I need to manually change the dockerfile?

Good point,
I think it's possible to forward range of ports, like this
ports:

  • "51820-51830:51820-51830"

So it will allow having some range of open ports for new wg_.conf configurations,
But I haven't tested this yet.

Hey just to clarify, I made the image to have a template and work out of the box. You can add multiple configs by openings ports and adding the config using docker cp or placing it into the var/lib/docker/volumes.

Hi, I did not much to just run it

  1. I added symbol link to venv directory - it's like quick solution but docker builder does it in one place but wgd.sh uses it from another place
# Create symbolic link to the virtual environment
RUN ln -s ${WGDASH}/venv ${WGDASH}/app/src/venv \
  && mkdir -p ${WGDASH}/app/src/log
  1. I changed HEALTHCHECK
    CMD curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:10086/signin | grep -q "401" && exit 0 || exit 1
  2. I added script to run WG interface using this var
    - ENABLE=wg0,wg1,wg2
  3. I added script to use vars, as there is no possibility to edit it in on web yet
- WG0_POST_UP
- WG0_POST_DOWN
  1. Changed some vars to capital letters

It looks like these are all changes I did.

But also I looking to easy way to add prefix for web endpoint to easy use proxy forwarding
like: http://localhost:10086/{some_prefix}/

And the easy way to add the prefix is with the added build stage I assume. I saw some changes to the bash script yeah. I am not familiar with why the symlink is needed but if it does not hurt why not.

I also looked through the changes and it looks good! I see you used a couple different ways of getting variables but if it works and is practical then sure.

It was just quick fix
I've tested, we can just correct some files and it works directly with ${WGDASH}/app/src/venv

Dockerfile

# Copy the WGDashboard repository from the local filesystem into the container
COPY ./WGDashboard ${WGDASH}/app

# Set up Python virtual environment
RUN python3 -m venv ${WGDASH}/app/src/venv \
  && mkdir -p ${WGDASH}/app/src/log

# Install Python dependencies
RUN . ${WGDASH}/app/src/venv/bin/activate \
  && pip3 install -r ${WGDASH}/app/src/requirements.txt \
  && chmod +x ${WGDASH}/app/src/wgd.sh \
  && ${WGDASH}/app/src/wgd.sh install

entrypoint.sh

 echo "Activating Python virtual environment and starting WireGuard Dashboard service."
    . "${WGDASH}/app/src/venv/bin/activate"
    cd "${WGDASH}/app/src" || { echo "Failed to change directory. Exiting."; return; }

Just let you know, @donaldzou added supporting url_prefix,

@shuricksumy to let your Docker compose works, I had to change this:

volumes:
      - ./scripts:/scripts
      - ./conf:/etc/wireguard
      - ./log:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/log
      - ./db:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/db
      # touch ./ini/wg-dashboard.ini
      - ./ini/wg-dashboard.ini:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/wg-dashboard.ini

to this:

volumes:
      - ./scripts:/scripts
      - ./conf:/etc/wireguard
      - ./log:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/log
      - ./db:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/db
      - ./ini:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/ini

Otherwise I had error "IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: './wg-dashboard.ini'".

I hope this helps.

Otherwise I had error "IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: './wg-dashboard.ini'".

This error is due to no empty file (wg-dashboard.ini) before docker compose run first time. Need to creare it firstly. (# touch ./ini/wg-dashboard.ini)

As to your idea to mount direcotory ini, I will check it. Before ini file was located in src directory. So I will try to create some workaround in start script to handle this case automatically.

I updated my Docker builder and docker compose file
Now configuration files are stored in app_conf
- ./app_conf:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app/src/app_conf

So it will be created automatically. There are ini file and DB folder there.
Please be aware that it needs be replaced manually ([wg-dashboard.ini, db] -> ./app_conf/ ) if you already have config files

How can I let it detect my public IP automatically (using ifconfig.me)? Because I tried to put 0.0.0.0 in Public IP (in Docker compose code) but it doesn't work. I tried the same in the dashboard, but it still doesn't detect it.

I need it because I've got a dynamic IP and I'd like to make sure that it changes it automatically in case the connection drops, without using any DNS.

P.S. Plus, after rebooting container dashboard being unaccessible, saying "Unauthorized - 401". Same on a new installation.

Hi,

Public IP here is a part of config, and it's setup first time when you deploy docker and if you not set it in env vars predefined.

So in case of dynamic IP, it's a good question)) just because server endpoints to connect peers are listening on this IP and in case it changed you need new peers configuration on client side - just let them know where they should connect. May be here can be used host name with dynamic IP like for example noip.com provides. But I haven't test or uesd it.
In case Unauthorized - maybe session is also connected to IP that's why you got this.

The idea to have VPN for personal usage is just brilliant when you have some tiny virtual machine on Amazon or DigitalOcean. They provide static IP and it can be reachable from any your devices and this devices can communicate each other even over the NAT or grey IP of providers. It costs about 7$ per month to have this virtual machine in cloud.
