i'm trying to use some keybinding to start my wireguard vpn, so I've used the following:
bindsym Ctrl+$alt+o exec --no-startup-id wg-quick down wg0 || wg-quick up wg0
but nothing seems to happen, I've also tried to set the suid bit to wg-quick, but still no luck.
after reading that ||might cause some issue, i've also tried only the first part
bindsym Ctrl+$alt+o exec --no-startup-id wg-quick down wg0
with and without --no-startup-id but with no luck.
Any ideas?
This should be a solution:
Create and add the line to the file: /etc/sudoers.d/wg-quick
yourusername yourhostname = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wg-quick
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/159007/how-do-i-run-specific-sudo-commands-without-a-password)
And then use the full path to wg0.conf in i3/config:
bindsym $mod+o exec "sudo wg-quick up /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf"
