Show HN: Wg-admin – web UI for an existing WireGuard host (github.com/logimaxx)

Reads /etc/wireguard, lets you add/edit/remove peers, applies with wg syncconf (no interface bounce). Does not install WireGuard or rewrite your PostUp/NAT. That's all


Seems like high-risk and low-reward for your network security. You could host it behind the WG interface, but… still exposing the castle’s master key to a python web app.

I have found that WG client management is as simple as a couple scripts and a TSV file to match pubkeys to users.

Anyhow, cool project and I like the overall concept of respecting existing config.


Well, I don't rely on tools to deliver security out of the box without me knowing what is all about. Therefore, this tool is not meant to be secure by itself. I use other means to achieve that.


This sits in the right spot using the existing wg conf and tools.


Any notable differences from wg-easy?


Just a big one: it can manage an already existing WG setup. The readme says it all.


Nice work, following along.


Looks like hand coded. Kudos for that!


A dead giveaway that I think it's AI-made (not necessarily a con) is the complexity of the UI and redundant information. Things like the green dot paired with "interface is up". It looks polished though.


I confirm that I vibe coded it.


It's not hand coded. I've built it because I've needed for my own purposes.

I've tried wg-easy, but I didn't like the docker approach because it implied to dramatically alter my setup. I just wanted something to manage my already existing setup, something simple and effective. And the coding agent was good enough to built quickly what I needed.


Not sure how you could tell that - the entire repo is 4 commits, all within the last 4 hours.
