wg-meta
An approach to add metadata to the main wireguard config, written in Perl.
Compatible with your existing setup (no configuration changes needed).
A CLI interface with abilities to set, enable, disable and apply your wireguard config(s).
A fancy show output which combines the meta-data, running-config and static-configs
show
Modular structure: The whole parser is independent of the CLI module - and can be used as a standalone library.
The config parser/writer and as well as the wg show dump parser are independent too. For more info, please refer to Wireguard::WGmeta::Wrapper::Config and Wireguard::WGmeta::Wrapper::Show
wg show dump
No external dependencies, runs on plain Perl (>=v5.22)!
# Build from source perl Makefile.PL make test make install # Using `.deb` package (available in the linked git repo) sudo dpkg -i wg-meta_X.X.X.deb
WIREGUARD_HOME: Directory containing the Wireguard configuration -> Make sure the path ends with a `/`. Defaults to /etc/wireguard/.
IS_TESTING: When defined, it has the following effects:
Commands::Set|Enable|Disable omits the header of the generated configuration files.
Line of code is shown for warnings and errors.
WG_NO_COLOR: If defined, the show command does not prettify the output with colors.
Please refer to the respective modules Wireguard::WGmeta::Wrapper::Config and Wireguard::WGmeta::Wrapper::Show
Intended to use as command wrapper for the wg show and wg set commands. Support for wg-quick is enabled by default.
wg show
wg set
wg-quick
Please note that all attributes have to be specified in the `wg set` _syntax_, which means _AllowedIPs_ becomes allowed-ips and so on.

The main advantage is that this tool is not dependent on any other storage, metadata is stored inside the corresponding wgXX.conf file (Metadata is prefixed with #+):
