UI to manage multiple Wireguard nodes

SocksAreComfortable · November 2

Does anyone know a good interface that can be used to manage several Wireguard nodes? Like, say, if I have 7 servers in various places, and I want to add a new device, I now have to ssh into each of them one-by-one, generate the new configs, download the files one-by-one to the device and import them. And if I get a new node and want to add it to all my existing devices, then I have to ssh into it and repeatedly generate config files for all my devices. If any updates happen to a node, same thing.

you can take a look at these

WG-Easy

netmaker

Oooooh, the netmaker UI looks fancy and fun. And I think I've heard WG-Easy suggested before, just have never looked into it. Thanks!

I do enjoy learning, but I think this is perhaps 3-4 more steps outside my current wheelhouse, one thing at a time!

learning new things is good, in short, innovation is good

congratulations.

Easypanel.io works great for me
I think it’s more mature than what most other people use

I use and recommend 3X-UI
https://github.com/MHSanaei/3x-ui

If you want true multi node support (add user in panel - user profile added to all nodes), checkout Marzban. Using this too, very solid but uses shadowsocks by default. No support for Wireguard.

Convert to Nebula, so you don't have to do that....

I'll mention Tailscale because no one has yet. It might be what you're actually looking for.

I actually use Netbird as a self hosted version also, I find it much better than Tailscale

While I don't have any use for multiple WG servers, I use WG-easy.

I'd take a peak at awesome-wireguard #mesh-network

Keep us updated!

I have a fork of wg-meshconf if you're interested. It provides more flexibility so that you can add non-mesh peers that don't have a stable IP to the network by leaving their hostname fields blank + some other formatting adjustments. It's what I use.

Same. Netbird is great.
Easy to onboard users too, as well as have multiple exit nodes/routes.

How easy is setting up new nodes & pushing configs out to existing users? I'm a slut for a good one line install script

on linux I use,

curl -sSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/debian/public.key | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/keyrings/netbird-archive-keyring.gpg
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/netbird-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.netbird.io/debian stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netbird.list && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install netbird -y && \
netbird up --management-url https://netbird.domain.com:33073 --setup-key UUID4

on windows, I just install the binary then use

netbird up --management-url https://netbird.domain.com:33073 --setup-key UUID4

it will automatically use the systems hostname for its alias in the web ui

all existing members get updated automatically

Is this to add a new node or for adding a client on Linux? or is it one of those weird Tailscale things where they're both a client and an endpoint

client and endpoint in one I guess, since that is all you install, unless you want to host your own server for it that controls exit nodes and such, then you install a few docker containers and set that up.

Headscale if you want to selfhost Tailscale

My only complain for {head,tail}scale is that it doesn't let you decide the IP addresses of each node.

Not wireguard, but Zerotier is also a great solution.
