Settings is grouped into Access (users, sign-in, iOS app and API tokens),
Web interface (address and HTTPS), Logs & history and Upkeep
(updates, backup). Session length moved to Sign-in and no longer asks for
a restart. Log level, log size and traffic history share one card; the
country lookup is its own switch. Each card says how it saves.
The log viewer moved to a new Log page in the sidebar, with a filter for
changes only, and the Dashboard's Log link opens it.
Once a day the server asks Gitea or GitHub, as picked under Settings ->
Updates, for the latest release. A newer one shows as a pill in the
sidebar, a banner on the Dashboard and in the Updates card with its
release notes and the commands to update this server. Drafts and
pre-releases are ignored, nothing about the server is sent, and the check
can be switched off. POST /updates/check checks now.
A full-access token could create a user or reset a password, sign in as
that user and so reach backups and two-step sign-in settings. Users,
passwords, API tokens and the sign-in rules in PATCH /settings now need
a signed-in user again. /auth/me no longer returns tokenId, and
/settings no longer returns adminUsername.
Seven pages captured from a demo instance with sample data from the
simulator: dashboard (under the introduction), peers, peer, server,
settings, my account and sign-in. Images live in screenshots/.
The single admin account becomes a list of users; config.json moves to
version 2 and the old admin is migrated on first start. Every user is an
admin. Sessions are tied to a user and their password, so deleting a user
or resetting a password signs them out at once. API tokens belong to the
user who made them and go away with that user.
Admins add users with a temporary password and choose whether it must be
changed at first sign-in; until then the API refuses everything but the
password change. Settings gets My account and Users cards, and the token
table shows each token's owner. 'GHOSTWIRE passwd [username]' resets any
user's password. A failed update now also restores config.json, since the
new version may have upgraded it.
Replace the Kamon ghost with the horned Hannya mask in favicon.svg,
apple-touch-icon.png, the web UI and the setup page. The wordmark and
katakana use Shippori Mincho B1 ExtraBold, bundled as a subset (ASCII
and katakana, 21 KB) under the SIL OFL and served from the binary.
The server pings a peer's tunnel address every 30 s and shows the median
of the last 5 minutes in the peer list (with a 1-hour sparkline) and a
24-hour chart on the peer page. Off by default; "active" pings only
while the device sends traffic, "always" keeps the tunnel up.
In a terminal, install now asks for the domain, Let's Encrypt email,
endpoint, WireGuard port and admin password, shows a summary and changes
nothing until confirmed. Re-runs offer the current settings and say how
many devices need a new config when the endpoint or port changes.
Flags still work and skip their question; -y or no terminal skips all
questions. New -port flag sets the WireGuard UDP port. Every value is
checked before the system is touched.
A config can now be handed over as a one-time link, valid for 1 h, 24 h or
7 days and protected by a PIN by default. Keys are made only when the link
is opened; the link works once and is revoked after 5 wrong PINs. Issuing a
new config offers the same choice, and the current config keeps working
until the link is used.
Remove the option to paste a client's public key, in the web UI, the API
and the iOS app.
- The stats sampler records sessions per peer: start, end, address and
traffic. A session ends when the peer goes quiet or is disabled; a new
one starts when the device changes networks. Stored in stats.json and
kept as long as the daily traffic history (max 1000 per peer).
- Country and network operator come from the free DB-IP Lite databases
(CC BY 4.0), downloaded monthly and looked up locally, so peer
addresses never leave the server. Settings → Data retention can switch
this off, which deletes the databases.
- API: GET /peers/{id}/sessions; peer stats include the current location;
settings include the database status.
- Web UI and iOS app: connection history card, location line, country
code in the peer list (web), switch in data retention.

iOS app (ios/, SwiftUI, iOS 17+) in the web UI's styling with the Kamon
logo. It covers everything the web interface does except password, API
tokens and backups: dashboard, peers with search and filter, peer detail
with traffic charts, add/edit peers, one-time config with QR code and
share sheet, server settings with apply bar, app settings, data
retention and log viewer.
- Pairing by QR code or pasted pairing code; token kept in the keychain;
self-signed certificates are pinned by SHA-256 fingerprint.
- Colour providers and logo drawing are nonisolated: SwiftUI's background
renderer calls them, and main-actor closures crashed there when the
camera scanner was open.
- App Store: version 1.0, export compliance, privacy manifest, app icon,
release.sh (archive and upload), listing text, review notes and 6.9"
screenshots in ios/AppStore.
Server:
- Full-access API tokens may use settings, logs and restart; password,
tokens, backup/restore and the admin username stay admin-only.
- Web pairing dialog gains "Copy pairing code".
- The development simulator reports health checks in Linux wording.

- Settings → Data retention: log file size, number of old log files,
hourly and daily traffic history. Stored as log and stats in
config.json, validated, and applied without a restart; lowering a
limit deletes older log files and history after confirmation.
- Traffic history is now pruned by time instead of by bucket count.
- Server page DNS provider list offers only Quad9 and Custom.

Single Go binary that manages a WireGuard server based on pivpn's defaults:
- config.json as the single source of truth, reconciled to the kernel via
netlink, wgctrl and its own nftables table (NAT, forward, input)
- web interface (dashboard, peers, peer detail, add peer, server, settings)
and a JSON API for the future iOS app, with session and API-token auth
- client private keys are never stored; configs and QR codes shown once
- per-peer traffic statistics in stats.json, logs in GHOSTWIRE.jsonl
- HTTPS via Let's Encrypt, self-signed, certificate files or off
- self-managing: install, update (restores the old binary on failure),
uninstall and passwd subcommands; systemd unit generated by the binary
Tested end to end on Ubuntu 26.04 (kernel 7.0) at dev.redetzke.aero.
