I found this software to fit my purposes: wg-gen
You configure your wireguard stuff on your host and this is just a web ui that can show current peers and generate new ones.
That is useful for more complex configs. I only connect to specific servers and address spaces with the VPN, I also Support ipv6.
For that kind of configuration, I found it necessary to host a DNS server for the network, so that I can access the reverse proxy of my Homeserver.
If you're only looking to warp your device into a different network, that's more straight forward. I suggest to take a look at wg-easy if you want a web ui for that scenario.
Also, Caution: Some wireguard containers that use your hosts config love to delete them, so make backups. I'm looking at you, wireguard-ui.
Sorry for the late reply. I just wanted to day Thanks for posting this. I'll have a look in the next couple of days and see what I can achieve.
Have a good weekend!
I'm having a good one, it's one of the Selfhosting weekends. Sadly I noticed that the server does not forward clients packages to other clients over the VPN. I've tried a static ipv6 route but gave up eventually.
