WGDashboard
Monitoring WireGuard is not convinient, need to login into server and type wg show. That's why this platform is being created, to view all configurations and manage them in a easier way.
Note: This project is not affiliate to the official WireGuard Project ;)
## 📣 What's New: v3.0
- 🎉 **New Features**
- **Add Peers by Bulk: ** Now you can add peers by bulk, just simply set the amount and click add.
- **Delete Peers by Bulk**: User can click the menu button (three-dots) on the bottom right of each configuration, and click **Delete Peers**, then select peers.
- **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.
- 🪚 **Bug Fixed**
- [IP Sorting range issues #99](https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard/issues/99) [❤️ @barryboom]
- [INvalid character written to tunnel json file #108](https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard/issues/108) [❤️ @ ikidd]
- [Add IPv6 #91](https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard/pull/91) [❤️ @ pgalonza]
- [Added MTU and PersistentKeepalive to QR code and download files #112](https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard/pull/112) [:heart: @reafian]
- **🧐 Other Changes**
- **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.
- **Moved from TinyDB to SQLite**: This could provide better performance and loading speed when showing peers, also avoided changing the database could crash.
- UI adjustment on the whole dashboard.
- **`wgd.sh` finally can update itself**: So now user could update the whole dashboard from `wgd.sh`, with the `update` command.

- Python 3.7+ & Pip3
## 🛠 Install
1. Download WGDashboard
```shell
git clone -b v2.3.1 https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard.git wgdashboard
2. Open the WGDashboard folder
```shell
cd wgdashboard/src
```
3. Install WGDashboard
```shell
sudo chmod u+x wgd.sh
sudo ./wgd.sh install
```
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`
```shell
sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/wireguard
```
5. Run WGDashboard
```shell
./wgd.sh start
```
**Note**:
> 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`.
6. Access dashboard
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.
## 🪜 Usage
#### Start/Stop/Restart WGDashboard
```shell
cd wgdashboard/src
-----------------------------
./wgd.sh start # Start the dashboard in background
-----------------------------
./wgd.sh debug # Start the dashboard in foreground (debug mode)
-----------------------------
./wgd.sh stop # Stop the dashboard
-----------------------------
./wgd.sh restart # Restart the dasboard
```
#### Autostart WGDashboard on boot (>= v2.2)
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.
1. Changing the directory to the dashboard's directory
```shell
cd wgdashboard/src
```
2. Get the full path of the dashboard's directory
```shell
pwd
#Output: /root/wgdashboard/src
```
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.**
3. Edit the service file, the service file is located in `wireguard-dashboard/src`, you can use other editor you like, here will be using `nano`
```shell
nano wg-dashboard.service
```
You will see something like this:
```ini
[Unit]
After=network.service
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /dashboard.py
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```
Now, we need to replace both `` to the one you just copied from step 2. After doing this, the file will become something like this, your file might be different:
```ini
[Unit]
After=netword.service
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/root/wgdashboard/src
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /root/wgdashboard/src/dashboard.py
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
```
**Be aware that after the value of `WorkingDirectory`, it does not have a `/` (slash).** And then save the file after you edited it
4. Copy the service file to systemd folder
```bash
$ cp wg-dashboard.service /etc/systemd/system/wg-dashboard.service
```
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.
5. Enable the service
```bash
$ sudo chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/wg-dashboard.service
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable wg-dashboard.service
$ sudo systemctl start wg-dashboard.service # <-- To start the service
```
6. Check if the service run correctly
```bash
$ sudo systemctl status wg-dashboard.service
```
And you should see something like this
```shell
● wg-dashboard.service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/wg-dashboard.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-08-03 22:31:26 UTC; 4s ago
Main PID: 6602 (python3)
Tasks: 1 (limit: 453)
Memory: 26.1M
CGroup: /system.slice/wg-dashboard.service
└─6602 /usr/bin/python3 /root/wgdashboard/src/dashboard.py
Aug 03 22:31:26 ubuntu-wg systemd[1]: Started wg-dashboard.service.
Aug 03 22:31:27 ubuntu-wg python3[6602]: * Serving Flask app "WGDashboard" (lazy loading)
Aug 03 22:31:27 ubuntu-wg python3[6602]: * Environment: production

```
If you see `Active:` followed by `active (running) since...` then it means it run correctly.
7. Stop/Start/Restart the service
```bash
sudo systemctl stop wg-dashboard.service # <-- To stop the service
sudo systemctl start wg-dashboard.service # <-- To start the service
sudo systemctl restart wg-dashboard.service # <-- To restart the service
```
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.**
## ✂️ Dashboard Configuration
#### Dashboard Configuration file
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 config:
| | Description | Default | Available in Setting |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------ | -------------------- |
| **`[Account]`** | | | |
| `username` | Dashboard login username | `admin` | Yes |
| `password` | Password, will be hash with SHA256 | `admin` hashed in SHA256 | Yes |
| **`[Server]`** | | | |
| `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 | `true` | No |
| | 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**. | | |
| `version` | Dashboard Version | `v2.2` | No |
**Except `auth_req` due to security consideration.**
#### Generating QR code and peer configuration file (.conf)
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:
```ini
[Interface]
PrivateKey = QWERTYUIOPO234567890YUSDAKFH10E1B12JE129U21=
Address = 0.0.0.0/32
DNS = 1.1.1.1
[Peer]
PublicKey = QWERTYUIOPO234567890YUSDAKFH10E1B12JE129U21=
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = 0.0.0.0:51820
```
| | Description | Default Value | Available in Peer setting |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- |
| **`[Interface]`** | | | |
| `PrivateKey` | The private key of this peer | Private key generated by WireGuard (`wg genkey`) or provided by user | Yes |
| `Address` | The `allowed_ips` of your peer | N/A | Yes |
| `DNS` | The DNS server your peer will use | `1.1.1.1` - Cloud flare DNS, you can change it when you adding the peer or in the peer setting. | Yes |
| **`[Peer]`** | | | |
| `PublicKey` | The public key of your server | N/A | No |
| `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. | `:` | Yes |
## ❓ How to update the dashboard?
1. Change your directory to `wireguard-dashboard`
```shell
cd wireguard-dashboard/src
```
2. Update the dashboard
