Hi Everyone, I've decided to promote the long time working `v3.1` to `v4`! This version will be a huge update on the structure of the app. The frontend will be completely handle on the client side with Vue.js, and communicate with the server via REST Api. With this design, it could be possible for the frontend app to connect to multiple server in the future. Stay tune to this new verion, I'm working very hard on this while balancing school and work. If you would like know whats going on, you can check out [this branch](https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard/tree/v4) 😊
<palign="center">Monitoring WireGuard is not convinient, need to login into server and type <code>wg show</code>. That's why this platform is being created, to view all configurations and manage them in a easier way.</p>
- **Moved from TinyDB to SQLite**: SQLite provide a better performance and loading speed when getting peers! Also avoided crashing the database due to **race condition**.
- **Added Gunicorn WSGI Server**: This could provide more stable on handling HTTP request, and more flexibility in the future (such as HTTPS support). **BIG THANKS to @pgalonza :heart:**
- **Added Pre-shared Key to peers:** Now each peer can add with a pre-shared key to enhance security. Previously added peers can add the pre-shared key through the peer setting button.
- **Redirect Back to Previous Page:** The dashboard will now redirect you back to your previous page if the current session got timed out and you need to sign in again.
- **Key generating moved to front-end**: No longer need to use the server's WireGuard to generate keys, thanks to the `wireguard.js` from the [official repository](https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/tree/contrib/keygen-html/wireguard.js)!
- **Peer transfer calculation**: each peer will now show all transfer amount (previously was only showing transfer amount from the last configuration start-up).
- **UI adjustment on running peers**: peers will have a new style indicating that it is running.
- **`wgd.sh` finally can update itself**: So now user could update the whole dashboard from `wgd.sh`, with the `update` command.
> **If you have tested on other OS and it works perfectly please provide it to me in [#31](https://github.com/donaldzou/wireguard-dashboard/issues/31). Thank you!**
4. Give read and execute permission to root of the WireGuard configuration folder, you can change the path if your configuration files are not stored in `/etc/wireguard`
> For [`pivpn`](https://github.com/pivpn/pivpn) user, please use `sudo ./wgd.sh start` to run if your current account does not have the permission to run `wg show` and `wg-quick`.
Access your server with port `10086` (e.g. http://your_server_ip:10086), using username `admin` and password `admin`. See below how to change port and ip that the dashboard is running with.
In the `src` folder, it contained a file called `wg-dashboard.service`, we can use this file to let our system to autostart the dashboard after reboot. The following guide has tested on **Ubuntu**, most **Debian** based OS might be the same, but some might not. Please don't hesitate to provide your system if you have tested the autostart on another system.
For this example, the output is `/root/wireguard-dashboard/src`, your path might be different since it depends on where you downloaded the dashboard in the first place. **Copy the the output to somewhere, we will need this in the next step.**
Now, we need to replace both `<your dashboard directory full path here>` to the one you just copied from step 2. After doing this, the file will become something like this, your file might be different:
To make sure you copy the file successfully, you can use this command `cat /etc/systemd/system/wg-dashboard.service` to see if it will output the file you just edited.
8.**And now you can reboot your system, and use the command at step 6 to see if it will auto start after the reboot, or just simply access the dashboard through your browser. If you have any questions or problem, please report it in the issue page.**
Since version 2.0, WGDashboard will be using a configuration file called `wg-dashboard.ini`, (It will generate automatically after first time running the dashboard). More options will include in future versions, and for now it included the following configurations:
| `password` | Password, will be hash with SHA256 | `admin` hashed in SHA256 | Yes |
| | | | |
| **`[Server]`** | *Configuration on dashboard* | | |
| `wg_conf_path` | The path of all the Wireguard configurations | `/etc/wireguard` | Yes |
| `app_ip` | IP address the dashboard will run with | `0.0.0.0` | Yes |
| `app_port` | Port the the dashboard will run with | `10086` | Yes |
| `auth_req` | Does the dashboard need authentication to access, if `auth_req = false` , user will not be access the **Setting** tab due to security consideration. **User can only edit the file directly in system**. | `true` | **No** |
Starting version 2.2, dashboard can now generate QR code and configuration file for each peer. Here is a template of what each QR code encoded with and the same content will be inside the file:
| `AllowedIPs` | IP ranges for which a peer will route traffic | `0.0.0.0/0` - Indicated a default route to send all internet and VPN traffic through that peer. | Yes |
| `Endpoint` | Your wireguard server ip and port, the dashboard will search for your server's default interface's ip. | `<your server default interface ip>:<listen port>` | Yes |
#### **Please note for user who is using `v2.3.1` or below**
- For user who is using `v2.3.1` or below, please notice that all data that stored in the current database will **not** transfer to the new database. This is hard decision to move from TinyDB to SQLite. But SQLite does provide a thread-safe access and TinyDB doesn't. I couldn't find a safe way to transfer the data, so you need to do them manually... Sorry about that :pensive: . But I guess this would be a great start for future development :sunglasses:.
- When wgdashboard is running behind a proxy server, redirecting could cause using http while proxy is using https [❤️ from #161]

**Quick Fix**
- Fixed public key does not match when user used an existing private key
- Sorry for the wrong version number that causing the dashboard ask for update after updating.
#### v3.0.3 - Jan 23, 2022
- Fixed when dashboard configuration file cannot be found after a fresh install. [❤️ from #132 ]
