Hi! I'm planning the next major update for this project, please let me know if you have any suggestions or feature requests ;) You can create an issue with the "Feature request" template. Cheers!
Help Wanted
If anyone know a better way to distribute releases of python application other than GitHub, please let me know in #103!
Please provide your OS name and version if you can run the dashboard on it perfectly in #31, since I only tested on Ubuntu. Thank you!

WireGuard and WireGuard-Tools (
wg-quick
) are installed.Don't know how? Check this official documentation
-
Configuration files under
/etc/wireguard
, but please note the following sample[Interface] ... SaveConfig = true # Need to include this line to allow WireGuard Tool to save your configuration, # or if you just want it to monitor your WireGuard Interface and don't need to # make any changes with the dashboard, you can set it to false.

Python 3.7+ & Pip3
🛠 Install
-
Download WGDashboard
git clone -b v2.3.1 https://github.com/donaldzou/WGDashboard.git wgdashboard
-
Open the WGDashboard folder
cd wgdashboard/src
-
Install WGDashboard
sudo chmod u+x wgd.sh sudo ./wgd.sh install
-
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
sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/wireguard
-
Run WGDashboard
./wgd.sh start
Note:
For
pivpn
user, please usesudo ./wgd.sh start
to run if your current account does not have the permission to runwg show
andwg-quick
. -
Access dashboard
Access your server with port
10086
(e.g. http://your_server_ip:10086), using usernameadmin
and passwordadmin
. See below how to change port and ip that the dashboard is running with.
🪜 Usage
Start/Stop/Restart WGDashboard
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.
-
Changing the directory to the dashboard's directory
cd wgdashboard/src
-
Get the full path of the dashboard's directory
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. -
Edit the service file, the service file is located in
wireguard-dashboard/src
, you can use other editor you like, here will be usingnano
nano wg-dashboard.service
You will see something like this:
[Unit] After=network.service [Service] WorkingDirectory=<your dashboard directory full path here> ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 <your dashboard directory full path here>/dashboard.py Restart=always [Install] WantedBy=default.target
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:[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 -
Copy the service file to systemd folder
$ 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. -
Enable the service
$ 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
-
Check if the service run correctly
$ sudo systemctl status wg-dashboard.service
And you should see something like this
● 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.

If you see
Active:
followed byactive (running) since...
then it means it run correctly. -
Stop/Start/Restart the service
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
-
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.
