| tag | Branch | Example | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `latest` | production | `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:latest` or `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy` | stable as possbile get bug fixes quickly when needed, deployed against `production`. |
| `13` | production | `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:13` | same as latest, stick to a version tag. |
| `nightly` | master | `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:nightly` | mostly unstable gets frequent package and code updates, deployed against `master`. |
| `development` | pull requests | `ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy:development` | used for development, testing code from PRs before landing into `master`. |
## Installation
### 1. Install Docker
If you haven't installed Docker yet, install it by running:
```bash
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
exit
```
And log in again.
### 2. Run WireGuard Easy
To automatically install & run wg-easy, simply run:
```
docker run -d \
--name=wg-easy \
-e LANG=de \
-e WG_HOST=<🚨YOUR_SERVER_IP> \
-e PASSWORD_HASH=<🚨YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH> \
-e PORT=51821 \
-e WG_PORT=51820 \
-v ~/.wg-easy:/etc/wireguard \
-p 51820:51820/udp \
-p 51821:51821/tcp \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--cap-add=SYS_MODULE \
--sysctl="net.ipv4.conf.all.src_valid_mark=1" \
--sysctl="net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" \
--restart unless-stopped \
ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy
```
> 💡 Replace `YOUR_SERVER_IP` with your WAN IP, or a Dynamic DNS hostname.
>
> 💡 Replace `YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH` with a bcrypt password hash to log in on the Web UI. See [How_to_generate_an_bcrypt_hash.md](./How_to_generate_an_bcrypt_hash.md) for know how generate the hash.
The Web UI will now be available on `http://0.0.0.0:51821`.
> 💡 Your configuration files will be saved in `~/.wg-easy`
WireGuard Easy can be launched with Docker Compose as well - just download
[`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml), make necessary adjustments and
execute `docker compose up --detach`.

| `WEBUI_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | `localhost` | IP address web UI binds to. |
| `PASSWORD_HASH` | - | `$2y$05$Ci...` | When set, requires a password when logging in to the Web UI. See [How to generate an bcrypt hash.md]("https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy/blob/master/How_to_generate_an_bcrypt_hash.md") for know how generate the hash. |

## Updating
To update to the latest version, simply run:
```bash
docker stop wg-easy
docker rm wg-easy
docker pull ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy
```
And then run the `docker run -d \ ...` command above again.
With Docker Compose WireGuard Easy can be updated with a single command:
`docker compose up --detach --pull always` (if an image tag is specified in the
Compose file and it is not `latest`, make sure that it is changed to the desired
one; by default it is omitted and
[defaults to `latest`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#image-references)). \
The WireGuared Easy container will be automatically recreated if a newer image
was pulled.
