Algo: Unable to find 'configs/198.199.93.177/wireguard//private/poipt

[Poipt]

Linux 4.4.0-45-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 19 14:12:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Pre-existing server (using DigitalOcean

When I run ./algo, i get the error "Unable to find 'configs/198.199.93.177/wireguard//private/poipt."

I ran ./algo and got that error.

What provider would you like to use?
1. DigitalOcean
2. Amazon EC2
3. Microsoft Azure
4. Google Compute Engine
5. Scaleway
6. OpenStack (DreamCompute optimised)
7. Install to existing Ubuntu 16.04 server (Advanced)

Enter the number of your desired provider
: 7

Enter the IP address of your server: (or use localhost for local installation)
[localhost]:

What user should we use to login on the server? (note: passwordless login required, or ignore if you're deploying to localhost)
Enter the public IP address of your server: (IMPORTANT! This IP is used to verify the certificate)
[]: 198.199.93.177

Was this server deployed by Algo previously?
Do you want macOS/iOS clients to enable "VPN On Demand" when connected to cellular networks?
Do you want macOS/iOS clients to enable "VPN On Demand" when connected to Wi-Fi?
Do you want to install a DNS resolver on this VPN server, to block ads while surfing?
Do you want each user to have their own account for SSH tunneling?
Do you want the VPN to support Windows 10 or Linux Desktop clients? (enables compatible ciphers and key exchange, less secure)
Do you want to retain the CA key? (required to add users in the future, but less secure)

[TC1977]

This sounds like #1050 but I didn't really see a good solution to that. Try installing the ansible2.5 branch onto a new Ubuntu 18.04 (not 16.04) server, and using the local install option.

[Poipt]

That worked, thanks!

[IlyaGulya]

For someone who will face the same problem.
You simply need to remove all *.lock files at /etc/wireguard/

sudo rm -rf /etc/wireguard/*.lock

[voidlily]

Thanks for pointing out the wireguard lock files! This problem was giving me a huge headache.

[TC1977]

@IlyaGulya @voidlily Think this would look good as a PR for the troubleshooting docs?

Wireguard: Unable to find 'configs/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/wireguard//private/xyz' in expected paths

You tried to install WireGuard and hit an error message as above, after "TASK [wireguard: Generate public keys]". This error is usually hit when using the local install option on a server that isn't Ubuntu 18.04. You can either upgrade your server to Ubuntu 18.04, or remove *.lock files at /etc/wireguard/ as follows:

sudo rm -rf /etc/wireguard/*.lock

[voidlily]

I ran into the issue and was already on 18.04 on kernel 4.13 (latest kernel that my hypervisor would boot), so I'd lean towards the lock files more, but if upgrading solved the problem for other people feel free to leave it in.

[TC1977]

@voidlily just to clarify, after removing the *.lock files, you immediately then run /.algo again?

[voidlily]

Yes, that's what worked for me
