WireGuard

• the .conf files can be stored anywhere
• the default location is /etc/wireguard but if you use the absolute path to the file when you run wg-quick up /my/vpn.conf it will know to lookup your file
• the .conf files contain private keys and therefore can't be stored in version control (unless you want the whole world to be able to connect to your peer).

installing mullvad via the .rpm file didn't work for whatever reason, so i want to find a way to manage the vpn connection via wireguard directly (using the config file generator that Mullvad provides)

transferred the issue here from the workstation repo (big jump!)

my idea so far is to keep the wireguard configuration file (managed by chezmoi) somewhere in my home directory, and create a script that can be used to load that configuration file as a new network manager vpn connection config

something like

~/.local/share/chezmoi/home/.chezmoiscripts/run_after_apply.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <wireguard-config-file>"
    exit 1
fi

CONFIG_FILE=$1
INTERFACE=$(basename "$CONFIG_FILE" .conf)

if nmcli connection show | grep -q "$INTERFACE"; then
    echo "Connection for $INTERFACE already exists. Exiting."
    exit 0
fi

nmcli connection import type wireguard file "$CONFIG_FILE"

# Verify the connection was added successfully
if nmcli connection show | grep -q "$INTERFACE"; then
    echo "WireGuard VPN configuration for $INTERFACE added successfully."
else
    echo "Failed to add WireGuard VPN configuration for $INTERFACE."
    exit 1
fi
