Web UIs on top of WgServerforWindows

[ncavallini]

Hello,
is it possible to install a web UI (such as subspace or wireguard-ui) on top of WgServerforWindows?

Thank you for the feedback and the good work!

Hey @ncavallini, good question! WS4W is really just a collection of scripts and configuration to make WireGuard easy to set up on Windows. It doesn't really provide any functionality on top of that. As such, I think your question is really about whether wireguard-ui or subspace can interact with a Windows installation of WireGuard. That question might be more appropriate for their respective repositories.

They are both native Linux tools. You could use something like Docker Desktop or Rancher Desktop to run them in a container environment on Windows. Then the question is whether they would properly interact with the host and find the things they're looking for. They both, for example, utilize the NET_ADMIN capability, meaning they will want to read and interact with the host's network adapter. I'm not sure how that works on Windows. They also want you to mount volumes that map to standard Linux directories (e.g., /opt/docker/ and /etc/wireguard) that won't exist on Windows.

The best I can suggest is to either try these tools yourself or ask in their repos. I don't think WS4W plays much of a role here.

Hi @micahmo, thank you for your quick and complete answer. I'll ask there then, and jeep this issue updated for other people who may have the same question.
Best regards.
