After installing the wireguard package via apt, then rebooting the device, it hangs after detecting USB devices and won’t boot. Any ideas how to get wireguard installed without crashing it? I had to re-flash the SD card after attempting this.
Logs? Wireguard should have no effect on the OS.
The issue was that wireguard is already installed on the stock distro (and I was unaware of this), and installing the new version also upgraded the kernel to a newer version which is not supported on the Le Potato. Using the stock wireguard installation is the answer in this case.
Another update: the operating system doesn’t include the Wireguard userspace tools (i.e. wg, wg-quick), so attempting to install these (i.e. sudo apt install wireguard-tools) will also attempt to update the kernel, thus breaking the OS.
To get around this, use sudo apt install wireguard-tools --no-install-recommends
Hope this helps anyone else needing to use Wireguard on the Le Potato running Raspbian.
