wg-easy WireGuard VPN on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

wg-easy WireGuard VPN on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

wg-easy is the easiest way to run your own WireGuard VPN and manage it from a browser — add clients, hand out configuration files and QR codes, enable or disable peers, and watch live connection status from a clean web console. The cloudimg image installs Docker Engine from the official Docker apt repo, runs wg-easy 15.3.0 as a container with a restart policy, publishes the WireGuard tunnel on UDP 51820, and fronts the web admin UI with nginx on port 80 (WebSocket ready). Configuration and the peer database live on a dedicated Azure data disk, and a unique admin password plus the public WireGuard endpoint are generated on the first boot of every VM.
