Wireguard configuration without file editor

Configuration
1

I want to configure the WireGuard add-on through the add-on configuration to completely avoid using a text editor. To do this, I need to add the private and public keys for the peer and server. However, the private key for the client is not being added. What am I doing wrong? Here is my add-on configuration.

server:
  host: 177.37.187.107
  addresses:
    - 10.10.1.1
  dns:
    - 192.168.0.1
  public_key: JSxaZeBOjbjaVNouxATdnOpryu9bLVmqd/VdScbPHQA=
  private_key: L36svVoi8/VE0Gxd6TD4lCw7jJbc/Bf+JKreXAaX5+U=
peers:
  - name: user-1
    addresses:
      - 10.10.1.2
    endpoint: 177.37.187.107:51821
    allowed_ips: []
    client_allowed_ips:
      - 192.168.0.0/24
      - 10.10.10.0/24
    public_key: QNLXV8lrsPnKOd011DO8g5DWyad6iHJDSVOD6yOqjiE=
    private_key: kRltxveV0CbHv2vFiRU7GMPNB4Ur7UsaM8k5WqZEsJk=

client.conf

Hi Bogdan,

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I suggest you change those keys in your actual instance because sharing your private key in an open forum is not one of the best Ideas I’ve heard about lately.

thank you for your time and helpful advice. The private and public keys are not real
