Documentation about restoring a backup is incomplete #26

Description

Hi,

the documentation about restoring a backup is incomplete: https://docs.pivpn.io/wireguard/#migrating-pivpn-wireguard

After setting up a new pivpn instance and restoring the backup the following issues arise:

  • The pivpnNET in /etc/pivpn/wireguard/setupVars.conf seems to be chosen randomly during initial setup. So it will differ from the one that is used in the backup in /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf. You need to edit /etc/pivpn/wireguard/setupVars.conf to set it to the value, that is used in the backup.
  • Also the iptables rules contain this network and must be changed. On Alpine Linux you have to edit /etc/iptables/rules-save and change it to the one from backup.
  • Restart wg-quick and iptables services or reboot.
