## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This article explains how to configure wireguard on Alpine Linux.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apk add wireguard-tools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generating keys
|
|
|
|
The private and public keys for a host can be generated with the following commands:
|
|
```sh
|
|
PRIVATE_KEY=`wg genkey`
|
|
PUBLIC_KEY=`printf $PRIVATE_KEY|wg pubkey`
|
|
echo private_key: $PRIVATE_KEY
|
|
echo public_key: $PUBLIC_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Here is a configuration example of my `/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf` that creates a tunnel listening on udp port 342 and has one remote peer:
|
|
```cfg
|
|
[Interface]
|
|
PrivateKey = MzrfXLmSfTaCpkJWKwNlCSD20eDq7fo18aJ3Dl1D0gA=
|
|
ListenPort = 342
|
|
|
|
[Peer]
|
|
PublicKey = R4A01RXXqRJSY9TiKQrZGR85HsFNSXxhRKKEu/bEdTQ=
|
|
Endpoint = 168.119.114.183:342
|
|
AllowedIPs = 10.1.2.9/32
|
|
PersistentKeepalive = 60
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that there is no ip address in the Interface section, contrary to other operating systems using the `wg-quick` tool. Putting one here is invalid and wg will fail with an error.
|
|
|
|
To implement this example you will need to generate two sets of keys. The configuration for the first server will feature the first server's private key in the `[Interface]` section and the second server's public key in the `[Peer]` section, and vice versa for the configuration of the second server.
|
|
|
|
This example is from a machine that can be hidden behind nat therefore I configure a `PersistentKeepalive`. If your host has a public IP this line is not needed.
|
|
|
|
To activate the interface configuration, edit `/etc/network/interfaces` :
|
|
```sh
|
|
auto wg0
|
|
iface wg0 inet static
|
|
requires eth0
|
|
use wireguard
|
|
address 10.1.2.3/24
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run `ifup wg0`.
|
|
|
|
## Administration
|
|
|
|
The tunnel can be managed with the `wg` command:
|
|
```sh
|
|
root@hurricane:~# wg
|
|
interface: wg0
|
|
public key: 7fbr/yumFeTzXwxIHnEs462JLFToUyJ7yCOdeDFmP20=
|
|
private key: (hidden)
|
|
listening port: 342
|
|
|
|
peer: R4A01RXXqRJSY9TiKQrZGR85HsFNSXxhRKKEu/bEdTQ=
|
|
endpoint: 168.119.114.183:342
|
|
allowed ips: 10.1.2.9/32
|
|
latest handshake: 57 seconds ago
|
|
transfer: 1003.48 KiB received, 185.89 KiB sent
|
|
persistent keepalive: every 1 minute
|
|
```
