Hi, I’m new to both DietPi and Wireguard. I set them up but whenever I try to connect my Ubuntu OS to Wireguard through DietPi I get the following error

[#] ip link add vpn type wireguard
[#] wg setconf vpn /dev/fd/63
[#] ip -4 address add 10.x.x.x/24 dev vpn
[#] ip link set mtu 1420 up dev vpn
[#] sysctl net.ipv4.conf.vpn.forwarding=1 net.ipv4.conf.$(sed -n 3p /DietPi/dietpi/.network).forwarding=1
sed: can’t read /DietPi/dietpi/.network: No such file or directory
net.ipv4.conf.vpn.forwarding = 1
sysctl: separators should not be repeated: …forwarding
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf//forwarding: No such file or directory
[#] ip link delete dev vpn


What am i doing wrong?

Hi,

On which systems you are doing this? Your DietPi system or the Ubuntu one?

try to connect my Ubuntu OS to Wireguard through DietPi

I assume WireGuard Server is running on your DietPi system? And you have issues to start the WireGuard Server?

can't read /DietPi/dietpi/.network: No such file or directory

This is your issue, as you missing the .network file. Usually it contains your network information like this

root@DietPiVM1:/DietPi/dietpi# cat .network
0
0
eth0
192.168.0.13
ETH_IP=192.168.0.13
WLAN_IP=
root@DietPiVM1:/DietPi/dietpi#
