Describe the issue

Installation using curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash under root user ends up saying:

::: Installing WireGuard...
:::    Checking for wireguard-tools... not installed!
:::    Checking for qrencode... not installed!
:::    Checking for linux-headers-generic... not installed!
:::    Checking for wireguard-dkms... not installed!

E: Unable to locate package wireguard-dkms
:::    Failed to install wireguard-tools!
:::    Failed to install qrencode!
:::    Failed to install linux-headers-generic!
:::    Failed to install wireguard-dkms!

I believe the reason is that my VPS shares the kernel with the host and thus wireguard-dkms cannot be installed. It is not needed anyway. Host is running https://vpsadminos.org.

Expected behavior

wireguard-dkms to be skipped, it is not needed.

Please describe the steps to replicate the issue

This is kind of non-standard VPS setup. You need to install https://vpsadminos.org on host machine, then create a VPS/Container with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, login to that VPS and install using curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash. That is it.

Have you taken any steps towards solving your issue?

Did some investigation and the module is builtin, so I only need to install wireguard-tools and it works. Somehow the installer cannot detect it?

orazioedoardo commented 2 months ago

I've tested the server image again and the kernel module is correctly detected, what's the output of dpkg-query -S '*wireguard.ko*' on your VPS?

myazaki commented 2 months ago

sudo dpkg-query -S 'wireguard.ko' dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern wireguard.ko

It is not the same my VPS ubuntu 24.04 has different kernel as it is sharing it with the host.

orazioedoardo commented 2 months ago

I don't know how to detect it though. How about the output of modinfo wireguard ?

myazaki commented 2 months ago

Not detected. What about this?

orazioedoardo commented 2 months ago

Does it show up even when wireguard is not being used at all?

myazaki commented 2 months ago

It is output from system where it is not installed nor used.
