Aw: wg-quick (script snippets) for OpenWRT/LEDE

remailing in plain text 

Hi,

it appears that wg-quick is not provided for OpenWRT/LEDE.

The reason is not really clear to me. As far I understand wg-quick depends on BASH whilst the default shell in OpenWRT/LEDE is ASH.
This however can be easily remidied by installing the BASH package from the OpenWRT/LEDE repo.

OpenWRT/LEDE is utilising netifd for network configuration which is lacking th3 versatility of wg-quick with there script snippets

PRE_UP=( )
POST_UP=( )
PRE_DOWN=( )
POST_DOWN=( )

Is there a way to get those script snippets working in OpenWRT/LEDE as such is required in dynamic/split/kill-switch routing scenarios.

OpenVPN provides a similar script functionality which is however not stripped on the OpenWRT/LEDE repo, respectively it does not require an extra tool package. I find it rather curious that the aforementioned script snippets are not part of wg but rather implemented in wg-quick which then is absent from OpenWRT/LEDE.

POST_UP and POST_DOWN is possible with hotplug scripts in OpenWrt, but
the PRE_xx callback is currently not possible.  As a temporary
workaround, you can try patching locally /lib/netifd/proto/wg.sh to
achieve similar effects, or wrapping wg command with a script (hacky
wacky way)

Just try installing all those dependencies wg-quick requires, though
after you know enough details about the wg-quick script, you may well
just write your own stripped down version for your own needs.

OpenVPN and WireGuard is different in this regard.  OpenVPN has a
daemon running while WireGuard depends on the network manager to do
the maintenance things.

I am a bit slow with the plain text formatting=2E=2E=2E

Traced this https://lists=2Ezx2c4=2Ecom/pipermail/wireguard/2017-January/0=
00935=2Ehtml back from JAN 2017=2E

The BASH package https://github=2Ecom/openwrt/packages/commits/master/util=
s/bash/patches[https://github=2Ecom/openwrt/packages/commits/master/utils/b=
ash/patches] is available in OpenWRT since at least AUG/SEPT 2014 and could=
 be installed as dependency to wg-quick=2E

How to get wg-quick manually installed into (working in) OpenWRT after hav=
ing installed their BASH package?
