Hello Brice,

Yeah, this made me hesitate too. However, I think that having this small
service is always better than a raw configuration file. It would of
course be nice to have a more complete service, maybe relying on
Guile-Netlink in the future.

You're right, fixed.

Yes, I'll add it as a follow-up.

The rationale was that when the private key is generated, the user can
just "cat /etc/wireguard/public.key" instead of running "wg pubkey <
/etc/wireguard/private.key" but I agree it is misleading and I removed
this field.

I pushed the revised patch as 43b2e440c38a39eb64088bd6c08771c060aa10fc.

Thanks,
