Show HN: Wg-admin – web UI for an existing WireGuard host
wg-admin is a web-based user interface designed to manage existing WireGuard VPN configurations without disrupting current server setups. It allows administrators to add, edit, and monitor peers while maintaining the integrity of existing configuration files.
Why it matters
It provides a user-friendly management layer for network security tools that are traditionally difficult to configure, improving accessibility for system administrators.
A focused web UI for a WireGuard host that is already running. It reads the files already in /etc/wireguard , lets you add and edit peers, and applies changes with wg syncconf so the interface does not bounce.
wg-admin does not install WireGuard, replace wg-quick , or rewrite your PostUp / NAT lines. It sits on top of the configuration you already have.
Most WireGuard admin panels want to own the tunnel: they generate a new config, take over wg-quick , and leave you to re-learn their layout. This one does the opposite.
Install it on a host that already has a working VPN. Existing [Interface] keys, routing hooks, and peers stay as they are. You get a password-protected UI for day-to-day peer work — names, client files, QR codes, handshakes — without replacing the server setup you already trust.
