The ansible networking module:

ansible.utils.ipaddr

Example playbook

hosts:
  - foo
roles:
  - ansible-wireguard

Please note that this role does not take care of allowing wireguard through the firewall and other iptables/nftables config, as this goes beyond the scope of this role. You have do that manually, or use other roles.

TLDR - What will happen if I run this

• install wireguard
• generate server config/keys (on remote target)
• generate client config where requested
• save client configs where requested (can be set to any host)
• bring the wg interface up (using systemd)
• show wg config when requested
