# WG-Dashboard Docker Explanation:
|
|
|
|
Author: DaanSelen<br>
|
|
|
|
This document delves into how the WG-Dashboard Docker container has been built.<br>
|
|
Of course there are two stages, one before run-time and one at/after run-time.<br>
|
|
The `Dockerfile` describes how the container image is made, and the `entrypoint.sh` is executed after running the container. <br>
|
|
In this example, WireGuard is integrated into the container itself, so it should be a run-and-go.<br>
|
|
For more details on the source-code specific to this Docker image, refer to the source files, they have lots of comments.
|
|
|
|
I have tried to embed some new features such as `isolated_peers` and interface startup on container-start (through `enable_wg0`).

## Getting the container running:
|
|
|
|
To get the container running you either pull the image from the repository, at the moment: `repo.nerthus.nl/app/wireguard-dashboard:latest`.<br>
|
|
From there either use the environment variables describe below as parameters or use the Docker Compose file: `compose.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
An example of a simple command to get the container running is show below:<br>
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
docker run -d \
|
|
--name wireguard-dashboard \
|
|
--restart unless-stopped \
|
|
-e enable_wg0=true \
|
|
-e isolated_peers=true \
|
|
-p 10086:10086/tcp \
|
|
-p 51820:51820/udp \
|
|
--cap-add NET_ADMIN \
|
|
repo.nerthus.nl/app/wireguard-dashboard:latest
|
|
```
|
|
<br>
|
|
If you want to use Compose instead of a raw Docker command, refer to the example in the `compose.yaml` or the one pasted below:
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
wireguard-dashboard:
|
|
image: repo.nerthus.nl/app/wireguard-dashboard:latest
|
|
restart: unless-stopped
|
|
container_name: wire-dash
|
|
environment:
|
|
#- tz=
|
|
#- global_dns=
|
|
- enable_wg0=true
|
|
- isolated_peers=false
|
|
#- public_ip=
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 10086:10086/tcp
|
|
- 51820:51820/udp
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- conf:/etc/wireguard
|
|
- app:/opt/wireguarddashboard/app
|
|
cap_add:
|
|
- NET_ADMIN
|
|
|
|
volumes:
|
|
conf:
|
|
app:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to customize the yaml, make sure the core stays the same, but for example volume PATHs can be freely changed.<br>
|
|
This setup is just generic and will use the Docker volumes.
|
|
|
|
## Working with the container and environment variables:
|
|
|
|
Once the container is running, the installation process is essentially the same as running it on bare-metal.<br>
|
|
So go to the assign TCP port in this case HTTP, like the default 10086 one in the example and log into the WEB-GUI.<br>
|
|
|
|
| Environment variable | Accepted arguments | Default value | Verbose |
|
|
| -------------- | ------- | ------- | ------- |
|
|
| tz | Europe/Amsterdam or any confirming timezone notation. | Europe/Amsterdam | Sets the timezone of the Docker container. This is to timesync the container to any other processes which would need it. |
|
|
| global_dns | Any IPv4 address, such as my personal recommendation: 9.9.9.9 (QUAD9) | 1.1.1.1 | Set the default DNS given to clients once they connect to the WireGuard tunnel (VPN).
|
|
| enable_wg0 | `true` or `false` | `false` | Enables or disables the starting of the WireGuard interface on container 'boot-up'.
|
|
| isolated_peers | `true` or `false` | `true` | For security the default is true, and it disables peers to ping or reach eachother, the WireGuard interface IS able to reach the peers (Done through `iptables`).
|
|
| public_ip | Any IPv4 (public recommended) address, such as the one returned by default | Default uses the return of `curl ifconfig.me` | To reach your VPN from outside your own network, you need WG-Dashboard to know what your public IP-address is, otherwise it will generate faulty config files for clients.
