These options can be configured by setting environment variables using -e KEY="VALUE" in the docker run command.

Env	Default	Example	Description
PORT	51821	6789	TCP port for Web UI.

Updating

To update to the latest version, simply run:

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).
The WireGuard Easy container will be automatically recreated if a newer image was pulled.
