Show HN: Wg-admin – web UI for an existing WireGuard host

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