Hi all,

I’m trying to implement a guix system service (using [[GitHub - MindFlavor/prometheus\_wireguard\_exporter: A Prometheus exporter for WireGuard, written in Rust.](https://github.com/MindFlavor/prometheus_wireguard_exporter)]) that needs to access the wireguard configuration file from the store for friendly peer names, and I’m hitting a wall here ☹

Did anyone attempt this before or know a service doing it?

Thank you,  
Razvan aka TinHead

It was a longshot the above 🙂 In the end I’ve redefined guix’s wireguard service to also link the generated configuration to /etc/wireguard/interfacename.conf

You can find the service definition in my channel here: [GitHub - TinHead/th-guix-channel: my guix channel](https://github.com/TinHead/th-guix-channel)
