Purpose

Utility scripts, etc for getting wireguard onto a PiCorePlayer instance.

This was inspired by:

1. an attempt to keep the installation & configuration as self-contained as possible, so it can exist in /home/tc (and be "backed up"), rather than creating a extension
2. the need to bring the wireguard-tools into picoreplayer version > 8

Installation

Store the file S99-wireguard in the default user's home directory as:

/home/tc/S99-wireguard

Login to the PCP server via ssh as the user tc

Ensure S99-wireguard is executable with:

chmod +x /home/tc/S99-wireguard

Backup the change to PCP

pcp bu

Execute S99-wireguard at Boot

The file must be executed each time the PCP server boots. This can be done easily by adding /home/tc/S99-wireguard as user command via the PCP web gui, through:

go to the Tweaks tab

scroll down to the User commands section

add the line:

/home/tc/S99-wireguard

as one of the three commands

Usage

The S99-wireguard command must be run as root, typically after logging in as the default user (tc) with: sudo /home/tc/S99-wireguard

Arguments

The S99-wireguard command requires one of the options:

start start the Wireguard daemon, installing the kernel module and wireguard-tools extension (and dependencies) if needed

stop stop the Wireguard daemon, shutdown the wg0 network interface, remove the configuration file

status run the wg show command to report on the service status

To Do

Stop pulling wireguard-tools from an older picorelayer repo. Either request that the tools be included with current repos, or build the package following these commands and make the binaries available from this repo.
