Wireguard - User management setting in dietpi-config or dietpi-xyz
Describe the solution you'd like:
I'd like to be able to add and remove clients/users more easily. Currently you have to do a lot of work to add a client to Wireguard server.
Would be cool to add something like this to dietpi-config or dietpi-xyz:
https://github.com/adrianmihalko/raspberrypiwireguard/wiki/User-management-with-Wireguard-User-Management-script
Would make it very simple to add all your phones and other devices to server config and at the same time a QR-code is generated for the clients to scan.
@Vansinnet Many thanks for your request.
We plan a dedicated dietpi-vpn program from where you can install and manage VPN servers and clients with WireGuard and OpenVPN, add clients, servers to connect to etc. Will be a bid more work, will see if a start can be done with v6.27.
@MichaIng
That is great! The new RPi4 has the required hardware to get decent speeds over VPN; so I think a lot of people will want "dietpi-vpn"-manager in the coming years.
An easier way is adding wg-dashboard: https://github.com/wg-dashboard/wg-dashboard

That's perfect! I'll use this instead of wg_config (which is terminal only).
@MichaIng Couldn't wg-dashboard be used in the meantime until you have everything in place for a dietpi-vpn-module? Maybe incorporate wg-dashboard into dietpi with the 6.26 release?
EDIT: When trying to install wg-dashboard on Dietpi, an error during installation occurs; says the OS is not supported, even though my Dietpi is based on Buster.
@Vansinnet This is nothing to implement "meanwhile", but additionally. Our own scripts will always be console and whiptail-based only, wg-dashboard is a nice addition if you want to monitor/configure your WireGuard remotely via web UI.
@MichaIng Does this mean wg-dashboard isn't something to add to Dietpi until you add a Dietpi-VPN-module? (Even if a Dietpi-VPN-module is introduced, Wg-dashboard could be something people would want to install via Dietpi-Software anyway.)

IMO both features are unrelated:
- DietPi-VPN is something I aim for a longer time, so is kinda on my ToDo, although a larger project indeed.
- wg-dashboard is WireGuard only, but with web UI (means a Node.js-based webserver is running), so offers just a different set of features, only partly overlapping with DietPi-VPN. Not much coding required to implement it, at least as long as it works with newer Node.js versions as well 😉.
Which one to implement first depends on my time (currently hard to say) and other contributor and user attention for either of them.
You might add this to our FeatHub to raise some attention. Perhaps we change the title of this issue to be a wg-dashboard software request, since DietPi-VPN is on my list anyway?
@MichaIng
I'm content with your reply. It's not something I really, really need since I use wg-config to manage users for my Wireguard server. And since you're already planning to implement Dietpi-VPN, I can wait for that. :)
I'm not adding wg-dashboard to Feathub since you're working on Dietpi-VPN. It sounds great and would render wg-dashboard obsolete!
Many thanks for your feedback! And you're doing a great job. :)
A pure slim CLI has benefits as well, but I agree that providing an install option for the existing web interface is probably the better first step.
It looks nice and is easy to run (just a single executable) but it did not recognise existing installations/configuration. It's generating an own key pair. Means whole existing configuration for server and clients would need to be migrated somehow. https://github.com/ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui/issues/177
As well login user/pass seems to be written into a config file without encryption https://github.com/ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui/issues/45
