ansible-role-wireguard/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

7.8.0

• Added support for openSUSE Leap 15.2

7.7.0

• Use wireguard packages from Debian Backports instead of Debian Sid, these packages are more suitable for a stable distribution and have less impact on the system. Packages from unstable must be removed manually (including kernel) to make the switch on an existing system. Upgrading the role has no effect other than adding Debian Backports to the Apt repositories.
• Fix reboot mechanism in Raspbian role, now also works without molly-guard

7.6.0

• Added wireguard_private_key variable (contribution by @j8r)
• Fix check mode for Debian (contribution by @j8r)

7.5.0

• wireguard package is now available for Ubuntu 18.04 in universe repository. Before that ppa:wireguard/wireguard was used but that one isn't available anymore. The install procedure for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 is now the same as both can use wireguard metapackage now. The role takes care to remove wireguard-dkms package in favour of wireguard metapackage but it leaves the configuration file for ppa:wireguard/wireguard repository untouched. So it's up to you to remove that PPA. Either use apt-add-repository --remove ppa:wireguard/wireguard or remove the file manually at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory (you man need to run apt-get update afterwards).

7.4.0

• Added initial molecule infrastructure
• Remove useless block for single task in setup-debian-vanilla.yml (contribution by @rubendibattista)

7.3.1

• Debian only: Ensure the headers for the currently running kernel are installed instead of the latest one which might not be running yet. This allows DKMS to build the module for the current kernel version and avoids the need for an reboot to load the module. (contribution by @ldelelis and @ypid)

7.3.0

• Fix spelling and typos in docs. (contribution by @ypid)

• Drop Debian Stretch from the list of tested distros. Actual support was dropped/broken in 6.0.4 without updating the docs. (contribution by @ypid)

• Remove obsolete .reload-module-on-update file. It does not serve any function anymore after support for module reloading has been removed from the postinst script in 0.0.20200215-2 on 2020-02-24. A module update is properly signaled via /run/reboot-required so that the admin can (automatically) schedule a reboot when convenient. This will also be more in line with future Debian releases because starting with Debian bullseye, the kernel ships the module. (contribution by @ypid)

• Add ansible_managed header to WireGuard configuration file (wg0.conf by default). This will most probably change the WireGuard configuration file but only the formatting. But since the Ansible registers this file as changed Ansible will sync/restart WireGuard service. For newer WireGuard versions (since Nov. 2019) this isn't a problem normally as wg syncconf command is used (also see handlers/main.yml). (contribution by @ypid)

• Behind the scenes coding style improvements and cleanup without user impact. (contribution by @ypid)

7.2.0

• Basic MacOS X support (contribution by @rubendibattista)
• Introduce variables wireguard_conf_owner, wireguard_conf_group and wireguard_conf_mode (contribution by @rubendibattista)
• Fixed a typo bug in handlers/main.yml (contribution by @gabriel-v). But it looks like this had no impact on the "sync/restart" functionality.
• Proper formatting of WireGuard configuration file (wg0.conf by default). This will most probably change the WireGuard configuration file but only the formatting. But since the Ansible registers this file as changed Ansible will sync/restart WireGuard service. For newer WireGuard versions (since Nov. 2019) this isn't a problem normally as wg syncconf command is used (also see handlers/main.yml).
• Introduce wireguard_dc variable. This is an alpha feature and subject to change and may be even removed in future releases again. Therefore no documentation for this variable yet.

7.1.0

• Add support for unmanaged peers with wireguard_unmanaged_peers (contribution by @joneskoo)

7.0.0

• Switched to install from ELRepo KMOD package for CentOS (see https://www.wireguard.com/install/). This change may break installation for systems with custom kernels. The role previously supported custom kernel implicitly because it was using DKMS package (contribution by @elcomtik)

  Role removes DKMS WireGuard package, however it doesn't remove jdoss-wireguard-epel-7 repository. If you don't need this repository, do cleanup by:

  • remove /etc/yum.repos.d/wireguard.repo

6.3.1

• Support Openstack Debian images (contribution by @pallinger)

6.3.0

• Support Raspbian (contribution by @penguineer)

6.2.0

• Support Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
• Introduce wireguard_ubuntu_update_cache and wireguard_ubuntu_cache_valid_time variables to specify individual Ubuntu package cache settings. Default values are the same as before.
• As kernel >= 5.6 (and kernel 5.4 in Ubuntu 20.04) now have wireguard module included wireguard-dkms package is no longer needed in that case. That's why WireGuard package installation is now part of the includes for the specific OS to make it easier to handle various cases.

6.1.0

• Archlinux: Linux kernel >= 5.6 contains wireguard module now. No need to install wireguard-dkms anymore in this case. Installations with LTS kernel installs wireguard-lts package now instead of wireguard-dkms. Installations with kernel <= 5.6 will still install wireguard-dkms package.

6.0.4

• Use the buster-backports repository on Debian Buster (or older), use package standard repositories on sid/bullseye. standard repositories on sid/bullseye.

  The role no longer adds the unstable repo nor the apt preference for that repo. There is no need to clean the preference and unstable repository, since packages from your release have a higher priority.

  If you remove the apt preference (/etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable) updates from unstable are accepted by apt. This likely is not what you want and may lead to an unstable state.

  If you want to clean up:

  • remove /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable and
  • remove deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb_debian_org_debian.list.

  The backports repository has a lower priority and does not need an apt preference.

6.0.3

• If wg syncconf command is not available do stop/start service instead of restart (contribution by @cristichiru)

6.0.2

• Debian: install gnupg package instead of gpg. (contribution by @zinefer)

6.0.1

• add shell options to syncconf handler to fail fast in case of error

6.0.0

• Newer versions of WireGuard (around November 2019) introduced wg syncconf subcommand. This has the advantage that changes to the WireGuard configuration can be applied without disturbing existing connections. With this change this role tries to use wg syncconf subcommand when available. This even works if you have hosts with older and newer WireGuard versions.

5.0.0

• wireguard_(preup|postdown|preup|predown) settings are now a list. If more iptables commands needs to be specified e.g. then this changes makes it more readable. The commands are executed in order as described in wg-quick.8. Also see README for more examples. (contribution by @Madic-)

4.2.0

• Add support for Fedora (contribution by @ties)

4.1.1

• Install GPG to be able to import WireGuard key (Debian)

4.1.0

• Allow to specifiy additional Wireguard interface options: fwmark, mtu, table, preup and predown (for more information and examples see wg-quick.8)
• Add host comments in Wireguard config file

4.0.0

• While the changes introduced are backwards compatible in general if you stay with your current settings some variables are no longer needed. So this is partly a breaking change and therefore justifies a new major version.
• Support multiple Wireguard interfaces. See README for examples (contribution by fbourqui)
• Make role stateless: In the previous versions the private and public keys of the Wireguard hosts were stored locally in the directory defined with the wireguard_cert_directory variable. This is no longer the case. The variables wireguard_cert_directory, wireguard_cert_owner and wireguard_cert_group are no longer needed and were removed. If you used this role before this release it's safe to remove them from your settings. The directory that was defined with the wireguard_cert_directory variable will be kept. While not tested it may enable you to go back to an older version of this role and it should still work (contribution by fbourqui)
• Reminder: wireguard_cert_directory default was ~/wireguard/certs. Public and Private keys where stored on the host running ansible playbook. As a security best practice private keys of all your WireGuard endpoints should not be kept locally.

3.2.2

• remove unneeded with_inventory_hostnames loops (thanks to pierreozoux for initial PR)

3.2.1

• remove unecessary files (contribution by pierreozoux)

3.2.0

• add support for RHEL/CentOS (contribution by ahanselka)

3.0.0

• support for Debian added (contribution by ties)
