wg-ui VS wg-gen-web

Exactly. Even a wireguard LXC container would work. I also installed docker on my wireguard VM so I can run wg-ui to make management easier and generate QR codes to scan when adding devices. https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui

I run a lightweight VM just for wireguard with a kernel that has it built in. On the same VM I installed docker and run https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui which makes it way easier to create profiles.

The only way I’ve found, is to use a GUI like this: https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui. Pi-VPN is another popular option.

Wireguard and WG-UI

WG UI

Well, hit me up if you want a VPS installed with WireGuard with maybe some nice web interface like https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui

There are web gui ones available like this one. I haven't tried them, so can't vouch for their quality.

I use this to manage my wireguard connections. https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui

Thought so, as I was trying to do the same thing as you when I found it. Hope it does the job for you as it does for me. Then after you learn a bit more about docker and docker-compose you can also add this as a dead simple UI for Wireguard https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/wg-ui .

For client devices (like phones, laptops, workstations) i use wg-gen-web

If he goes funky there's always this: https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web

I ended up working with wg-gen-web (https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web). It’s pretty slick looking, easy to use, and after some struggles I managed to get authentication working. I also tweaked the docker image to change a few things to my liking (page title, etc). I still feel like this is the missing piece in WireGuard. I know it’s still new, but with this GUI, I have a pretty damn good solution for the few users I have that need it.

You would have to do some more Setup around it but wg-gen-web can do this

Not sure about running wireguard itself in a container but i've been running this GUI and the github page also provide some systemd hooks so that when the config changes, wireguard is restarted on the host.

There are scripts that generate the configs for you but also web services you can host yourself which also have a nice ui.

Your VPN (Wiregiard) is independent of that - it will allow you to access the Rpi itself from outside (as if you were in your LAN). I recommend https://github.com/vx3r/wg-gen-web to manage your WG configuration.
