restore peers

[muplagama]

hey... I backup the peers by ready api and stored into a file. he shows:

analpflaster:~/vpn/backup# cat interfaces/peers_150.json
[
{
"public_key": "HiCUb0B3yDHIl+0uI+2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc=",
"url_safe_public_key": "HiCUb0B3yDHIl-0uI-2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc=",
"allowed_ips": [
"172.1.4.1/32"
],
"last_handshake_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"persistent_keepalive_interval": "25s",
"endpoint": "146.60.226.118:64096",
"receive_bytes": 0,
"transmit_bytes": 3996
}
{
"public_key": "5zaLcXXvX1zRD25jjwv0rNCcKqu6QocYuul5vUjkhFk=",
"url_safe_public_key": "5zaLcXXvX1zRD25jjwv0rNCcKqu6QocYuul5vUjkhFk=",
"allowed_ips": [
"172.1.4.2/32"
],
"last_handshake_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"persistent_keepalive_interval": "25s",
"endpoint": "",
"receive_bytes": 0,
"transmit_bytes": 0
}
]

if I will restore it by using this json file I got an error:

{"message":"Syntax error: offset=350, error=invalid character '{' after array element"}

I used for restore:
curl -iv POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $_key" -d @interfaces/peers_150.json $_api/$_interface1/peers/

Did you figure it out?

[muplagama]

no, first was a format error. first I lost an ","

the correct format where:

}
,
{

but than I get an new think:

{
"message": "Unmarshal type error: expected=models.PeerCreateOrUpdateRequest, got=array, field=, offset=1"
}

i don't know what's the correct way

@muplagama As of now, the feature to support arrays isn't available. However, we're open to contributions! Feel free to submit a PR if you'd like to add this functionality.

[muplagama]

I dont know... for next time will get it over bash and a simple list to backup it.
curl -X 'GET'
"$_api/$_interface1/peers/"
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H "Authorization: Bearer $_key" | jq -r '.[]' | grep "url_safe_public_key" | awk '/url_safe_public_key/ {print $2}'| cut -c2- | sed 's/.$//' | sed 's/.$//' > interfaces/peers/all_150.json

xxx:~/vpn/backup# cat interfaces/peers/all_150.json
HiCUb0B3yDHIl-0uI-2QhtOaWnLO3ld1CI3xINDcZEc=
ks0FrWFgZIufSM5k0HMCDcYOlTyiouDRfEAo_OGX9C8=

and after I send a request with every url_save_public_key to save an json for every peer..

[suquant]

@muplagama Yes, that's one way to do it. Alternatively, you could restore peers using the wg-quick file and wg-quick tools.

[muplagama]

what do you mean

[suquant]

You can export the configuration to the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file, and then use the wg-quick tool to restore it.

[muplagama]

ok, but I think a restore via the API is better :)
