Usage [navigation]

This page explains how to get started with wg-easy. The guide uses Docker Compose as a reference. In our examples, a volume mounts the named volume etc_wireguard to /etc/wireguard inside the container.

Preliminary Steps

Before you can get started with deploying your own VPN, there are some requirements to be met:

  1. You need to have a host that you can manage.

Host Setup

There are a few requirements for a suitable host system:

TODO: Requirements

!!! note "About the Container Runtime"

On the host, you need to have a suitable container runtime (like _Docker_ or _Podman_) installed. We assume [_Docker Compose_][docker-compose] is [installed][docker-compose-installation]. We have aligned file names and configuration conventions with the latest [Docker Compose specification][docker-compose-specification].

If you're using podman, make sure to read the related [documentation][docs-podman].

Deploying the Actual Image

Tagging Convention

To understand which tags you should use, read this section carefully. Our CI will automatically build, test and push new images to the following container registry:

  1. GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io/wg-easy/wg-easy)

All workflows are using the tagging convention listed below. It is subsequently applied to all images.

Event Image Tags
cron on master nightly
push a tag (v1.2.3) 1.2.3, 1.2, 1, latest

Get All Files

Issue the following command to acquire the necessary file:

wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wg-easy/wg-easy/master/docker-compose.yml"

Configuration Steps

  1. First edit docker-compose.yml to your liking
  2. Then configure the everything in the UI

Get Up and Running

!!! danger "Using the Correct Commands For Stopping and Starting DMS"

**Use `docker compose up / down`, not `docker compose start / stop`**. Otherwise, the container is not properly destroyed and you may experience problems during startup because of inconsistent state.

Using `Ctrl+C` **is not supported either**!

That's it! It really is that easy.
