This page provides an overview of all available configuration options for WireGuard Portal.
You can supply these configurations in a YAML file (e.g. config.yaml) when starting the Portal. The path of the configuration file defaults to config/config.yml in the working directory of the executable. It is possible to override configuration filepath using the environment variable WG_PORTAL_CONFIG. For example: WG_PORTAL_CONFIG=/etc/wg-portal/config.yaml ./wg-portal. Also, environment variable substitution in config file is supported. Refer to syntax.
Configuration examples are available on the Examples page.

These are official releases of WireGuard Portal. They correspond to the GitHub tags that we make, and you can see the release notes for them here: https://github.com/h44z/wg-portal/releases.
Once these tags show up in this repository, they will never change.
For production deployments of WireGuard Portal, we strongly recommend using one of these tags, e.g. wgportal/wg-portal:1.0.19, instead of the latest or canary tags.
If you only want to stay at the same major or major+minor version, use either v[MAJOR] or [MAJOR].[MINOR] tags. For example v1 or 1.0.
Version 1 is currently stable, version 2 is in development.
You can configure WireGuard Portal using a yaml configuration file. The filepath of the yaml configuration file defaults to /app/config/config.yml. It is possible to override the configuration filepath using the environment variable WG_PORTAL_CONFIG.
By default, WireGuard Portal uses a SQLite database. The database is stored in /app/data/sqlite.db.
You should mount those directories as a volume:
/app/data
/app/config
A detailed description of the configuration options can be found here.

WireGuard Portal is a simple, web-based configuration portal for WireGuard server management. The portal uses the WireGuard wgctrl library to manage existing VPN interfaces. This allows for the seamless activation or deactivation of new users without disturbing existing VPN connections.
The configuration portal supports using a database (SQLite, MySQL, MsSQL or Postgres), OAuth or LDAP (Active Directory or OpenLDAP) as a user source for authentication and profile data.
"},{"location":"documentation/configuration/examples/#ldap-authentication-and-synchronization","title":"LDAP Authentication and Synchronization","text":"
This page provides an overview of all available configuration options for WireGuard Portal.
You can supply these configurations in a YAML file (e.g. config.yaml) when starting the Portal. The path of the configuration file defaults to config/config.yml in the working directory of the executable. It is possible to override configuration filepath using the environment variable WG_PORTAL_CONFIG. For example: WG_PORTAL_CONFIG=/etc/wg-portal/config.yaml ./wg-portal. Also, environment variable substitution in config file is supported. Refer to syntax.
Configuration examples are available on the Examples page.
Below you will find sections like core, advanced, database, statistics, mail, auth and web. Each section describes the individual configuration keys, their default values, and a brief explanation of their purpose.
These are the primary configuration options that control fundamental WireGuard Portal behavior. More advanced options are found in the subsequent Advanced section.
Description: An API token for the admin user. If a token is provided, the REST API can be accessed using this token. If empty, the API is initially disabled for the admin user.
Description: If an LDAP user is created (e.g., through LDAP sync) and has no peers, automatically create a new WireGuard peer for all server interfaces.
Description: Interval after which existing peers are checked if they are expired. Format uses s, m, h, d for seconds, minutes, hours, days, see time.ParseDuration.
Description: A time threshold (e.g., 100ms) above which queries are considered slow and logged as warnings. If empty or zero, slow query logging is disabled. Format uses s, ms for seconds, milliseconds, see time.ParseDuration.
Description: Interval between data collection cycles (bytes sent/received, handshake times, etc.). Format uses s, m, h, d for seconds, minutes, hours, days, see time.ParseDuration.
WireGuard Portal supports multiple authentication strategies, including OpenID Connect (oidc), OAuth (oauth), and LDAP (ldap). Each can have multiple providers configured. Below are the relevant keys.
Description: Maps OIDC claims to WireGuard Portal user fields.
Available fields: user_identifier, email, firstname, lastname, phone, department, is_admin, user_groups.
Field Typical OIDC Claim Explanation user_identifiersub or preferred_username A unique identifier for the user. Often the OIDC sub claim is used because it\u2019s guaranteed to be unique for the user within the IdP. Some providers also support preferred_username if it\u2019s unique. emailemail The user\u2019s email address as provided by the IdP. Not always verified, depending on IdP settings. firstnamegiven_name The user\u2019s first name, typically provided by the IdP in the given_name claim. lastnamefamily_name The user\u2019s last (family) name, typically provided by the IdP in the family_name claim. phonephone_number The user\u2019s phone number. This may require additional scopes/permissions from the IdP to access. department Custom claim (e.g., department) If the IdP can provide organizational data, it may store it in a custom claim. Adjust accordingly (e.g., department, org, or another attribute). is_admin Custom claim or derived role If the IdP returns a role or admin flag, you can map that to is_admin. Often this is managed through custom claims or group membership. user_groupsgroups or another custom claim A list of group memberships for the user. Some IdPs provide groups out of the box; others require custom claims or directory lookups.
Description: WgPortal can grant a user admin rights by matching the value of the is_admin claim against a regular expression. Alternatively, a regular expression can be used to check if a user is member of a specific group listed in the user_group claim. The regular expressions are defined in admin_value_regex and admin_group_regex.
admin_value_regex: A regular expression to match the is_admin claim. By default, this expression matches the string \"true\" (^true$).
admin_group_regex: A regular expression to match the user_groups claim. Each entry in the user_groups claim is checked against this regex.
Description: Maps OAuth attributes to WireGuard Portal fields.
Available fields: user_identifier, email, firstname, lastname, phone, department, is_admin, user_groups.
Field Typical Claim Explanation user_identifiersub or preferred_username A unique identifier for the user. Often the OIDC sub claim is used because it\u2019s guaranteed to be unique for the user within the IdP. Some providers also support preferred_username if it\u2019s unique. emailemail The user\u2019s email address as provided by the IdP. Not always verified, depending on IdP settings. firstnamegiven_name The user\u2019s first name, typically provided by the IdP in the given_name claim. lastnamefamily_name The user\u2019s last (family) name, typically provided by the IdP in the family_name claim. phonephone_number The user\u2019s phone number. This may require additional scopes/permissions from the IdP to access. department Custom claim (e.g., department) If the IdP can provide organizational data, it may store it in a custom claim. Adjust accordingly (e.g., department, org, or another attribute). is_admin Custom claim or derived role If the IdP returns a role or admin flag, you can map that to is_admin. Often this is managed through custom claims or group membership. user_groupsgroups or another custom claim A list of group memberships for the user. Some IdPs provide groups out of the box; others require custom claims or directory lookups.
Description: WgPortal can grant a user admin rights by matching the value of the is_admin claim against a regular expression. Alternatively, a regular expression can be used to check if a user is member of a specific group listed in the user_group claim. The regular expressions are defined in admin_value_regex and admin_group_regex.
admin_value_regex: A regular expression to match the is_admin claim. By default, this expression matches the string \"true\" (^true$).
admin_group_regex: A regular expression to match the user_groups claim. Each entry in the user_groups claim is checked against this regex.
Description: Maps LDAP attributes to WireGuard Portal fields.
Available fields: user_identifier, email, firstname, lastname, phone, department, memberof.
WireGuard Portal Field Typical LDAP Attribute Short Description user_identifier sAMAccountName / uid Uniquely identifies the user within the LDAP directory. email mail / userPrincipalName Stores the user's primary email address. firstname givenName Contains the user's first (given) name. lastname sn Contains the user's last (surname) name. phone telephoneNumber / mobile Holds the user's phone or mobile number. department departmentNumber / ou Specifies the department or organizational unit of the user. memberof memberOf Lists the groups and roles to which the user belongs.
Description: How frequently (in duration, e.g. 30m) to synchronize users from LDAP. Empty or 0 disables sync. Format uses s, m, h, d for seconds, minutes, hours, days, see time.ParseDuration. Only users that match the sync_filter are synchronized, if disable_missing is true, users not found in LDAP are disabled.
These are official releases of WireGuard Portal. They correspond to the GitHub tags that we make, and you can see the release notes for them here: https://github.com/h44z/wg-portal/releases.
Once these tags show up in this repository, they will never change.
For production deployments of WireGuard Portal, we strongly recommend using one of these tags, e.g. wgportal/wg-portal:1.0.19, instead of the latest or canary tags.
If you only want to stay at the same major or major+minor version, use either v[MAJOR] or [MAJOR].[MINOR] tags. For example v1 or 1.0.
Version 1 is currently stable, version 2 is in development.
You can configure WireGuard Portal using a yaml configuration file. The filepath of the yaml configuration file defaults to /app/config/config.yml. It is possible to override the configuration filepath using the environment variable WG_PORTAL_CONFIG.
By default, WireGuard Portal uses a SQLite database. The database is stored in /app/data/sqlite.db.
You should mount those directories as a volume:
/app/data
/app/config
A detailed description of the configuration options can be found here.
