Wg0 interface not appearing in UI

Networking & Firewalls
1

I’m trying to setup wireguard client for replication. I have a wireguard client running in docker with host networking mode. In the TrueNas shell I can see the wg0 interface with ip a. I can ping 192.168.0.1 in TrueNas which is an IP I have access to via that wg0 interface.

However wg0 does not appear in my list of interfaces in the network UI, like tailscale did in Lawrence’s video.

Do anyone know how I can get it to appear? Or, does it not being there cause any issues? I suppose my wg0 IP does not appear when I want to bind IP or bind interface in Samba, etc.

I need to do a new version of that video since TrueNAS does not show the interface anymore. I think advertising routes would be how to do it now.

By advertising routes, do you mean by adding it manually to static routes ?

In any case an updated video would be great.

There is an option in Tailscale for a node to advertise routes that are available on that node (the other networks attached to that TrueNAS) and I assume that will solve the issue. But an updated video is in the works.

I see. I suppose simple wireguard client doesnt have this option.
