Deploying WireGuard Manager on DigitalOcean: A Detailed Guide

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Which Operating System Should I Use on DigitalOcean?

    • DigitalOcean supports a wide range of operating systems. While most modern OS are compatible, we recommend the latest version of Ubuntu for its seamless integration and reliability. For a comprehensive list of supported systems, refer to the README.md in the WireGuard Manager repository.
  2. What Ports Need to be Forwarded When Deploying on DigitalOcean?

    • When deploying WireGuard Manager on DigitalOcean, you can either use the default port 51820 or any port of your choice. Forwarding the correct port is crucial for the successful operation of WireGuard Manager.
  3. Is Port Forwarding Required for Unbound When Using VPN?

    • No port forwarding is needed for Unbound when it's used with WireGuard Manager, as all DNS traffic is securely routed through the VPN itself.

Installation Process

  1. Creating and Accessing the Droplet:

    • Begin by creating a droplet (virtual server) on DigitalOcean.
    • SSH into your newly created droplet:
      ssh root@<Droplet_IP> # Replace <Droplet_IP> with your droplet's IP address
  2. Downloading WireGuard Manager:

    • Once you've accessed your droplet, download the WireGuard Manager script:
      curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/complexorganizations/wireguard-manager/main/wireguard-manager.sh --create-dirs -o /usr/local/bin/wireguard-manager.sh
  3. Making the Script Executable:

    • Change the script's permission to make it executable:
      chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wireguard-manager.sh
  4. Running the Installation Script:

    • Execute the script to start the configuration process:
      bash /usr/local/bin/wireguard-manager.sh
    • Alternatively, for a quicker setup, use the headless installer option:
      bash /usr/local/bin/wireguard-manager.sh --install
