vyatta-wireguard-installer

Install, upgrade or remove WireGuard (WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt) on Ubiquiti hardware. By default, the installer caches the deb-package so that the same version of WireGuard can be restored after a firmware upgrade.

Installation

Simply copy the script onto your Ubiquiti router and run it.

Note: By placing this script in /config/scripts/post-config.d, the WireGuard installation will persist across firmware upgrades.

curl -sSL https://github.com/mafredri/vyatta-wireguard-installer/raw/master/wireguard.sh -o /config/scripts/post-config.d/wireguard.sh
chmod +x /config/scripts/post-config.d/wireguard.sh

Usage

$ ./wireguard.sh help
Install, upgrade or remove WireGuard (github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt) on
Ubiquiti hardware. By default, the installer caches the deb-package so that the
same version of WireGuard can be restored after a firmware upgrade.

Note: This script can be placed in /config/scripts/post-config.d for automatic
installation after firmware upgrades.

Usage:
  ./wireguard.sh [COMMAND] [OPTION]...

Commands:
  check        Check if there's a new version of WireGuard (without installing)
  install      Install the latest version of WireGuard
  upgrade      Upgrade WireGuard to the latest version
  remove       Remove WireGuard
  self-update  Fetch the latest version of this script
  help         Show this help
  version      Show the version of this tool

Options:
      --no-cache  Disable package caching, cache is used during (re)install

Configuration

Automatic upgrade

The script in this repo can be used to perform automatic upgrades via the VyOS task scheduler. See VyOS Wiki: Task scheduler for more configuration options.

WARNING: There is no rollback functionality implemented (yet). If something goes wrong during the auto upgrade you could be left with a non-functioning WireGuard install.

On device configuration

This configuration method can be used on any Ubiquti device, but will not persist across provisions on the USG.

configure
set system task-scheduler task wireguard_auto_upgrade executable path /config/scripts/post-config.d/wireguard.sh
set system task-scheduler task wireguard_auto_upgrade executable arguments upgrade
set system task-scheduler task wireguard_auto_upgrade interval 14d
commit
save
exit

Ubiquiti Security Gateway

Update your config.gateway.json to include the following:

{
  "system": {
    "task-scheduler": {
      "task": {
        "wireguard_auto_upgrade": {
          "executable": {
            "path": "/config/scripts/post-config.d/wireguard.sh",
            "arguments": "upgrade"
          },
          "interval": "14d"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Todo

Investigate using /config/scripts/pre-config.d for post-firmware upgrade installation
- Why? It would make WireGuard available by the time the initial configuration is run
- Possible, since we cache the installer in /config/user-data/wireguard/cache.
Periodically check for new releases via cron (+automatic upgrades)
Support rollback if a release doesn't work as expected?
Check compatibility with current kernel / firmware version?
