With alignment between the kernel and userspace, along with userspace packages, we can now rely on the kernel in the future always having wg(4). This also simplifies the interface selection logic, and stores the wg-quick interface name as the description. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> |

wireguard-tools — tools for configuring WireGuard
This supplies the main userspace tooling for using and configuring WireGuard
tunnels, including the
wg(8)
and
wg-quick(8)
utilities. This project supports Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, and
Android.
More information may be found at WireGuard.com.
Building
$ cd src
$ make
There are no dependencies other than a good C compiler and a sane libc.
Installing
# make install
This command takes into account several environment variables:
-
PREFIX
default:/usr
-
DESTDIR
default: -
BINDIR
default:$(PREFIX)/bin
-
LIBDIR
default:$(PREFIX)/lib
-
MANDIR
default:$(PREFIX)/share/man
-
BASHCOMPDIR
default:$(PREFIX)/share/bash-completion/completions
-
RUNSTATEDIR
default:/var/run
-
PKG_CONFIG
default:pkg-config
-
WITH_BASHCOMPLETION
default: [auto-detect] -
WITH_WGQUICK
default: [auto-detect] -
WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS
default: [auto-detect] -
DEBUG
default:
The first section is rather standard. The second section is not:
-
WITH_BASHCOMPLETION
decides whether or not bash completion files for the tools are installed. This is just a nice thing for people who have bash. If you don't have bash, or don't want this, set the environment variable tono
. If you'd like to force its use, even if bash-completion isn't detected inDESTDIR
, then set it toyes
. -
WITH_WGQUICK
decides whether or not the wg-quick(8) script is installed. This is a very quick and dirty bash script for reading a few extra variables from wg(8)-style configuration files, and automatically configures the interface. If you don't have bash, you probably don't want this at all. Likewise, if you already have a working network management tool or configuration, you probably want to integrate wg(8) or the direct WireGuard API into your network manager, rather than using wg-quick(8). But for folks who like simple quick and dirty scripts, this is nice. If you'd like to force its use, even if bash isn't detected in DESTDIR, then set it toyes
. -
WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS
decides whether or not systemd units are installed for wg-quick(8). If you don't use systemd, you certainly don't want this, and should set it tono
. If systemd isn't auto-detected, but you still would like to install it, set this toyes
. -
DEBUG
decides whether to build with-g
, when set toyes
.
If you're a simple make && make install
kind of user, you can get away with
not setting these variables and relying on the auto-detection. However, if
you're writing a package for a distro, you'll want to explicitly set these,
depending on what you want.
contrib/
The contrib/
subdirectory contains various scripts and examples. Most of these
are not immediately useful for production use, but should provide inspiration for
creating fully-featured tools. See the README
in each directory.
