hey... I backup the peers by ready api and stored into a file. he shows:

analpflaster:~/vpn/backup# cat interfaces/peers_150.json [ { "public_key": "HiCUb0B3yDHIl+0uI+2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc=", "url_safe_public_key": "HiCUb0B3yDHIl-0uI-2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc=", "allowed_ips": [ "172.1.4.1/32" ], "last_handshake_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z", "persistent_keepalive_interval": "25s", "endpoint": "146.60.226.118:64096", "receive_bytes": 0, "transmit_bytes": 3996 } { "public_key": "5zaLcXXvX1zRD25jjwv0rNCcKqu6QocYuul5vUjkhFk=", "url_safe_public_key": "5zaLcXXvX1zRD25jjwv0rNCcKqu6QocYuul5vUjkhFk=", "allowed_ips": [ "172.1.4.2/32" ], "last_handshake_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z", "persistent_keepalive_interval": "25s", "endpoint": "", "receive_bytes": 0, "transmit_bytes": 0 } ]

if I will restore it by using this json file I got an error:

{"message":"Syntax error: offset=350, error=invalid character '{' after array element"}

I used for restore: curl -iv POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $_key" -d @interfaces/peers_150.json $_api/$_interface1/peers/

Did you figure it out?

[muplagama]

no, first was a format error. first I lost an ","

the correct format where:

} , {

but than I get an new think:

{ "message": "Unmarshal type error: expected=models.PeerCreateOrUpdateRequest, got=array, field=, offset=1" }

i don't know what's the correct way

@muplagama As of now, the feature to support arrays isn't available. However, we're open to contributions! Feel free to submit a PR if you'd like to add this functionality.

[muplagama]

I dont know... for next time will get it over bash and a simple list to backup it. curl -X 'GET'
"$_api/$_interface1/peers/"
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H "Authorization: Bearer $_key" | jq -r '.[]' | grep "url_safe_public_key" | awk '/url_safe_public_key/ {print $2}'| cut -c2- | sed 's/.$//' | sed 's/.$//' > interfaces/peers/all_150.json

xxx:~/vpn/backup# cat interfaces/peers/all_150.json HiCUb0B3yDHIl-0uI-2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc= ks0FrWFgZIufSM5k0HMCDcYOlTyiouDRfEAo_OGX9C8=

and after I send a request with every url_save_public_key to save an json for every peer..

[suquant]

@muplagama Yes, that's one way to do it. Alternatively, you could restore peers using the wg-quick file and wg-quick tools.

[muplagama]

what do you mean

[suquant]

You can export the configuration to the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file, and then use the wg-quick tool to restore it.

[muplagama]

ok, but I think a restore via the API is better :)
