Adding a new WireGuard client
Current peer assignments
| Name | IP |
|---|---|
| server | 10.10.10.1 |
| fedora | 10.10.10.2 |
Pick the next free IP (10.10.10.3, 10.10.10.4, …) for each new machine.
Step 1 — Generate a keypair on the new machine
Linux / macOS:
wg genkey | tee ~/wg-client.key | wg pubkey
Windows (WireGuard app installed): Open the WireGuard app → Add Tunnel → Add empty tunnel. It generates a keypair and shows the public key at the top.
Copy the public key — you need it in Step 2.
Keep the private key local. Never commit it to git.
Step 2 — Register the peer in Ansible
Edit ansible/inventory/group_vars/proxmox_hosts/vars.yml and add an entry to wireguard_peers:
wireguard_peers:
- name: fedora
public_key: "ivtchk9pxEwYwusMzmn7Uq89LFV3uB1I8iYto0EJuy4="
allowed_ips: 10.10.10.2/32
- name: my-new-machine # ← add this
public_key: "<public key from Step 1>"
allowed_ips: 10.10.10.X/32 # ← next free IP
Step 3 — Push the peer to the server
cd ansible && ansible-playbook playbooks/host.yml
The server will accept connections from the new client immediately after this.
Step 4 — Create the client config
Use the template below. Store it in a location that is not committed to git.
[Interface]
Address = 10.10.10.X/32
PrivateKey = <private key from Step 1>
DNS = 10.10.1.2
[Peer]
PublicKey = UJaAvoT65+qC7NdD4lKFK+/J1OxKBYp1ZY3ynHjqcHE=
Endpoint = adyrem.duckdns.org:51820
AllowedIPs = 10.10.10.0/24, 10.10.1.0/24, 10.10.2.0/24
PersistentKeepalive = 25
AllowedIPs is a split tunnel — only homelab traffic goes through the VPN.
Replace adyrem.duckdns.org with 192.168.1.10 when connecting from inside the LAN.
Step 5 — Connect
Linux (one-off):
sudo wg-quick up /path/to/wg0.conf
# disconnect: sudo wg-quick down /path/to/wg0.conf
Linux (persistent, starts on boot):
sudo cp wg0.conf /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
sudo systemctl enable --now wg-quick@wg0
Windows / macOS / Android / iOS: Import the config file into the WireGuard app, then toggle the tunnel on.
Step 6 — Verify
ping 10.10.10.1 # Proxmox host
ping 10.10.1.137 # monitoring VM
# Proxmox web UI: https://10.10.10.1:8006
# Grafana: http://10.10.1.137:3000
Removing a client
- Delete the peer entry from
wireguard_peersingroup_vars/proxmox_hosts/vars.yml - Run
ansible-playbook playbooks/host.yml - The client's public key is removed from the server — existing sessions drop immediately
