Stuck at Bringing WireGuard up

[SerJaimeLannister]

Hello I was thinking of creating a multi platform application on wush (just thinking , I liked magic wormhole but its golang library was a bit rough and I really liked golang and like your project's approach)
On offtopic I was the author to (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38876954) so I have had a keen interest in this space

Since wush uses wireguard and wireguard needs root access , I found that there is this wireguard compliant non root alternative called wiretap (https://github.com/sandialabs/wiretap)which could allow the server to run rootlessly and also wireproxy (https://github.com/pufferffish/wireproxy)
which could connect to clients rootlessly (or maybe wiretap can do that as well)

Anyhow adding this support could be really interesting
I did somewhere hear that tailscale can be configured in a non rootless device as when I was looking at wireproxy and the likes. some people said that something like this could work directly in headscale , so please look into that as well..

I hope that you could look into these matters.

Hey! wush doesn't actually require root. We use wireguard-go, which is entirely user space. The part of Taiscale requires root is the TUN device, which we don't currently implement.

[SerJaimeLannister]

I am not exactly sure.
First of all your script requires root to run (maybe to put it in bin path on linux)
but then I just went to the releases page and no worries I installed it and added to a non root vps (which is behind a nat)

and then I did ./wush serve and it gave me an auth key and when I tried to add a random file to , using wush cp if I remember correctly (Edit: edited the errors into comment below for better clarity)

[SerJaimeLannister]

then it just said bringing wireguard up on my device from which I was trying to send file from as a trial (it has root access)

On my non rooted device behind nat on which I ran wush serve
Use this key to authenticate other wush commands to this instance.
WireGuard is ready
SSH server enabled
File transfer server enabled
15:11:34 Received connection request over DERP from example@test

and on my device it showed (I have changed some data since I was not sure if that has personal information or not but still)

On my rooted device from which I was trying to send file it
showed

wush cp random.file
Auth information:
> Server overlay STUN address: XYZ
> Server overlay DERP home: XYZ
> Server overlay public key: [XYZ]
> Server overlay auth key: [XYZ]
Bringing WireGuard up..

and then it just keeps on loading (> 5 -10 minutes) and it doesn't show up any errors but its clearly not working)

[SerJaimeLannister]

hey any updates regarding this ?

[coadler]

Hey @SerJaimeLannister, are you able to run wush cp in verbose mode?

wush cp -v random.file

This should let us know where it's hanging

[SerJaimeLannister]

yes this -v command does absolutely nothing in terms of additional logs.

Thanks for the additional info. Could you confirm what os/architecture wush is stuck on? I'm currently digging into something similar on win11/arm64.

[coadler]

I may have fixed this in #47. Going to push a new release. Let me know if you're still seeing issues with the new version.

Both the devices are on linux
(also I think x86_64)

One of the devices is behind a nat

[SerJaimeLannister]

Hello I have tried it again on multiple servers behind nats and I have also installed the latest version and its unfortunately still not working.

[SerJaimeLannister]

To me it seems that tailscale servers are blocked on the servers , though this is only a hypothesis
