## Installation
Install using PyPi:
Make sure that WireGuard is available and its tools are installed:
```shell
# For Alpine:
apk add wireguard wireguard-tools
# For Debian:
apt install wireguard wireguard-tools
```
Install as root user using PyPi:
```shell
pip3 install wgfrontend
```
Note: In the case you get an error regarding the imaging library needed for generating QR Codes, try to install it via the operating system packages:
Note that this no longer works in more recent environments as `pip3` should no longer install in the system environment. You may do
```shell
pip3 install wgfrontend --break-system-packages
```
to override. Alternatively use `pipx` (install via `apt install pipx` on Debian) like this:
```shell
PIPX_HOME=/opt/pipx PIPX_BIN_DIR=/usr/bin pipx install wgfrontend
```
You may use another directory than `/opt/pipx` but it must be accessible for the regular user that will run `wgfrontend` later (i.e. don't use the default directory located within the root home directory). `PIPX_BIN_DIR` needs to be in the system search path (`systemd-path search-binaries-default` on Debian).

An interactive set-up assistant queries for the needed configuration data and sets up the environment.
Once everything is configured, "wgfrontend" drops root privileges and runs a small web server on port 8080 to serve the web frontend.
Note: You may run the set-up assistant from scratch after deleting the configuration files (see the details below) manually.
