Login to newly created wireguard app not working

[sebthom]

TL;DR

After provisioning a new server with the wireguard app, a login via browser is not possible. Each login attempt simply redirects to the login page itself.

I found this issue ngoduykhanh/wireguard-ui#641 without further details. The wireguard-ui project seems dead. Last update 9 months ago. Also from a security point of view it might make sense that you replace wireguard-ui with e.g. https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy which is actively maintained.

Expected behavior

The login works.

Observed behavior

1. Open the wg admin ui in the browser
2. try to login using the preselected user/pw
3. Click "Sign-In"
4. The page reloads and shows the login page again.
5. In the script console you see:

    Uncaught TypeError: data is undefined
        success https://wireguard.myserver.com/login?next=/:118
        jQuery 6
        <anonymous> https://wireguard.myserver.com/login?next=/:110
        jQuery 7
        <anonymous> https://wireguard.myserver.com/login?next=/:98
        jQuery 8
        <anonymous> https://wireguard.myserver.com/login?next=/:96
        jQuery 13
    login:118:94

Thanks for your report @sebthom - other users have mentioned that issue too and it seems like there is a container restart necessary after the admin user was create before the UI login properly works. We'll check an automatic solution in the setup.

I'll also forward your suggestion regarding wg-easy to our internal apps maintainer.
