I have a wireguard installed on a Alpine server. It's working, but when I reboot the server, I'm obliged to manually execute wg-quick up wg0

wireguard:~# wg show
wireguard:~# wg-quick up wg0
[#]
[#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard
[#] wg setconf wg0 /dev/fd/63
[#] ip -4 address add 10.6.6.1/24 dev wg0
[#] ip link set mtu 1420 up dev wg0
[#] ip -6 route add fd9f:6666::1/128 dev wg0
[#] iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
wireguard:~# wg show
interface: wg0
  public key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 51820

peer: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
  preshared key: (hidden)
  endpoint: xx.xx.xx.xx:49323
  allowed ips: fd9f:6666::1/128, 10.6.6.2/32
  latest handshake: 2 seconds ago
  transfer: 7.05 KiB received, 6.31 KiB sent
wireguard:~#

I have applied this doc:https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Configure_a_Wireguard_interface_(wg)#Bringing_up_an_interface_using_wg-tools

wireguard:~# cat /etc/modules
af_packet

wireguard
wireguard:~# cat /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf

Address = 10.6.6.1/24

Where is my mistake?

No mistakes, you just need to set up an OpenRC service for it. Create an init script like this at /etc/init.d/wg-quick:

#!/sbin/openrc-run

description="WireGuard Quick"

depend() {
    need localmount
    need net
}

start() {
    wg-quick up wg0
}

stop() {
    wg-quick down wg0
}

Then run the following command to enable it for the default runlevel:

rc-update add wg-quick default

  • Note that the init script must be made executable.

Thanks Justin Ludwig for your answer. I didn't tested your solution because I've managed to solve my problem modifying my /etc/network/interfaces like this:

auto wg0
iface wg0 inet static
        address 10.6.6.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        post-up wg-quick up /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
        post-down wg-quick down /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
