# wireguard-admin
This repository contains the Rust package, startup boundary, validated settings
loader, client domain model, a byte-preserving in-memory WireGuard configuration
editor, and library APIs for encrypted client vaults and read-only client import.
The library also provides saved-file persistence with recovery, private backups,
prepared Commit, and previewed full restore. The terminal management interface
and WireGuard/systemd runtime operations have not been implemented yet.
The package requires Rust 1.97.1 or newer and uses the Rust 2024 edition. From
the repository root, run:
```sh
cargo run -- --help
cargo run -- --version
```
`--help` and `--version` work without root. Starting with no arguments requires
root; until the management interface is implemented, startup exits with an
error and does not read server configuration or vault files.
## Settings
Settings use TOML in the fixed file `wireguard-admin.toml` beside the
executable. Start from [`config/wireguard-admin.example.toml`](config/wireguard-admin.example.toml).
The required fields are:
- `interface_name`: existing WireGuard interface name (1–15 ASCII characters).
- `server_config_path`: path to the existing server configuration.
- `client_source_directory`: directory containing existing client files.
- `server_endpoint`: hostname or IPv4 address followed by `:port`, or IPv6 in
brackets followed by `:port` (for example, `[2001:db8::2]:51820`).
- `ipv4_allocation_range` and `ipv6_allocation_range`: CIDR ranges of the
matching address family.
- `dns_addresses`: non-empty list of IPv4 and/or IPv6 literal addresses.
- `systemd_unit`: service unit name ending in `.service`.
- `restart_timeout_seconds`: positive integer.
`data_root` is optional. It defaults to `Backup` beside the executable;
current internal data and the encrypted vault are under `data`, and archives
are under `archives`. Relative configured paths, including an explicit
`data_root`, resolve from the executable directory. Absolute paths remain
absolute. Settings validation checks syntax and values only; it does not
require the referenced files, directories, or service to exist and does not
perform DNS lookups.
## Library configuration API
The library exposes `wireguard_admin::wireguard::ConfigDocument` for UTF-8
configuration bytes supplied by the caller. It retains the source and renders
unmodified input byte-for-byte, including line endings and a missing final
newline. Peer inspection exposes public identities, parsed `AllowedIPs`, spans,
and redacted issues; arbitrary directive values are not included in the view.
The edit methods `add_client`, `delete_client`, `rename_client`, and
`insert_legacy_metadata` return new in-memory documents. They do not read or
write files, save changes, or alter the running VPN. See
[`docs/CONFIG_FORMAT.md`](docs/CONFIG_FORMAT.md) for the managed metadata block
format.
Example:
```rust,ignore
use wireguard_admin::wireguard::ConfigDocument;
let document = ConfigDocument::parse(config_bytes)?;
let updated = document.rename_client(&public_key, "office laptop")?;
let bytes_to_review = updated.render(); // no persistence or VPN operation
```
Management startup still exits with an explicit “not implemented” error after
its root check. The application library APIs are usable by callers, but are not
yet connected to a management session or runtime VPN adapter.
## Saved state, Commit, and backups
wireguard_admin::app::Application opens saved files through
wireguard_admin::persistence::SavedStore, stages client and vault changes,
creates manual and mandatory operation backups, and previews/confirms a full
restore. Commit writes saved files only. Restore also changes saved files only;
neither operation reloads or restarts WireGuard. The server file is kept at its
trusted configured path, while internal state and the encrypted vault are kept
under Backup/data by default. Archives are stored under Backup/archives and
contain fixed logical members, not source client files or prior archives.
The persistence journal recovers interrupted file replacement on reopen and
returns a recovery error while earlier work remains unresolved. Restoring a
backup does not restore runtime state: the running interface is unknown until a
future explicit runtime verification. Pending deleted-client addresses remain
reserved through Commit, reopen, and restore. See
[docs/BACKUP_FORMAT.md](docs/BACKUP_FORMAT.md) and
[docs/PERSISTENCE.md](docs/PERSISTENCE.md) for archive and recovery details.
## Vault and existing-client import library
`wireguard_admin::vault` provides WireGuard key handling, an encrypted versioned
vault bundle, caller-buffer client configuration parsing, and reconciliation
against a supplied server document. The source adapter can prepare an initial
encrypted bundle or explicitly import candidates into an existing prepared
bundle. These operations return in-memory data only: they do not install or save
a vault, edit source files or server configuration, Commit, or touch the VPN.
Directory scans use the resolved `client_source_directory` only. A candidate is
an immediate regular file whose name ends in `.conf` (case-insensitive); the
adapter does not recurse, follow symlinks, or read files larger than 1 MiB. A
scan is limited to 4,096 directory entries, 1,024 candidates, and 32 MiB total
input. Per-file failures are redacted and do not prevent other files from being
examined. Enumeration, read, or limit failures mark the scan incomplete. The
original files remain untouched. Adapter examples and behavior are covered with
synthetic temporary directories in `tests/vault_import.rs`.
