A clear and concise description of the issue.

Hi @MickLesk,

My name is Donald Zou, and I'm the creator of WGDashboard.

Recently, it came to our attention that our project is being used in wireguard-install.sh, and we're happy that it has been chosen and adopted by the ProxmoxVE community!

We were wondering if it would be possible to add more guidance on https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=wireguard, as some users are mixing up WGDashboard and WireGuard and mistakenly thinking they’re the same. Additionally, it might be helpful to include a WireGuard configuration template within the guide or the installation script to simplify things for users.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best,
Donald

Hi Donald,

I understand what you mean, but I'm not sure what else to add to the website?
A note that WGDashboard is a management interface for existing configurations?

Feel free to give us suggestions. We can also open a “Discussion”, “Announcement” at any time by defining further steps.

Example:
https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/discussions/193
or
https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/discussions/192

later there will probably be real wiki entries, but unfortunately we are not yet ready at the current stage of the project, which is why we note all this in Discussions.

Hi @MickLesk,

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, maybe a note to tell users that WGDashboard and WireGuard is not the same, and if they encountered issues with WireGuard, they should reach out to them not us, which happened before.

We also noticed that some users who used the WireGuard LXC script don't know how to create configuration, so maybe we can propose an addition to the existing wireguard-install.sh:

...

default_config_name="wg0"
default_config="/etc/wireguard/${default_config_name}.conf"
if [ ! -f $default_config ]; then
    sudo touch default_config
    private_key=$(wg genkey)
    { 
        printf "[Interface]\n";
        printf "PrivateKey = ${private_key}\n";
        printf "Address = 10.0.0.1/24\n";
        printf "SaveConfig = true\n";
        printf "PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i ${default_config_name} -j ACCEPT; iptables -A FORWARD -o ${default_config_name} -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;\n"
        printf "PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i ${default_config_name} -j ACCEPT; iptables -D FORWARD -o ${default_config_name} -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE;\n"
        printf "ListenPort = 51820 \n\n"
    } >> $default_config
fi

...

So when user access WGDashboard the very first time, they will see this configuration ready for them.

Let me know what you think 😄
