Installing wireguard requires kernel dependencies to be ignored
-
Hi there,
I spent a good few hours getting Wireguard to work as a client on the Omega2s+. Eventually, I learned that I could tell
opkgto ignore the dependency warning:opkg --force-depends install wireguardWhile I appear to have things working, this forcing of kernel dependencies concerns me. It also appears that the Wireguard package being used is quite old. Would Onion be able to update the package and also sort out its dependencies at some point?
Thanks.

@huntc If you use the build system you can include wireguard in your custom firmware build.

@crispyoz Thanks for replying. Do you mean to build my own OS image? I suppose I'll get to that eventually, but if it possible to update the package then that would also be nice.
-
@huntc I think that any of us who use Omega2 for commercial purposes end up building our own firmware so we can tweak it to our specific needs.
-
@crispyoz That makes sense. I intend to get to that. But as a newcomer to the Omega2, that's a significant requirement in getting started. Seems to me that an update of the packages should be a task regularly performed by Onion. First impressions count.

@huntc Were you able to successfully use the onion as your WireGuard client? I am currently trying to do that but I am quite lost and could use some help. I have wireguard and the kernel modules installed and wg works. How were you able to set it up? I have previously set up wireguard in ubuntu for both server and client. Any help would be much appreciated
