Simple init script to up & down wireguard

README.md

1. Go to /etc/init.d directory
2. Create file with name "wireguard" and content below.
3. Make file executable chmod +x wireguard
4. Add to rc-update: rc-update add wireguard default
5. That's it

wireguard

#!/sbin/openrc-run

depend() {
   need localmount
   need net
}

start() {
   ebegin "Starting wireguard"
   /usr/bin/wg-quick up wg0
   eend $?
}

stop() {
   ebegin "Stopping wireguard"
   /usr/bin/wg-quick down wg0
   eend $?
}

This worked! Thank you :)

Hi,

At step 4 you have written defualt instead of default. This might confuse people not used to working with Linux :)

Thanks for the init script!

Kr, Gregory

@epiecs Yes, you're right 👍 Corrected.

Hi there! I'm on Devuan OpenRC.
I use wgcf as my wireguard config,
wgcf-profile.conf
If I try adding this to my init, it gives some sort of errors about localmount and net. Do I need to replace them?
Am I dumb? I really dunno how to get this script working. Help?

I wrote a guide some time ago on how to work with alpine. It is in dutch though but google translate should be able to help you. Here is the section on how to work with services: https://github.com/epiecs/alpine-guide#zelf-service-scripts-schrijven.

Thank you! I followed the Wireguard part, but it did nothing sadly, I followed every step I swear.
Any ideas?

not atm, You'll have to look at errors/logs and check what is happening. Maybe try a wg show etc and also test if your wg setup works without the init file. Just plain old wg-quick up <int>

Second part is already invalid, it doesn't work without it or with it, but I'll try seeing logs! Thanks for the help
