This lab simulates a remote gns3-vm setup whereby an ubuntu vm is configured as a wireguard server and another ubuntu vm is configured as a wireguard client. The purpose of this lab is to provide the configuration and troubleshooting tools to create and maintain a remote gns3 vm setup.
This lab is almost a direct copy and paste of Marc Weisel's lab found here: https://marcstech.blog/archives/ssh-local-port-fwd-remote-gns3-server/ In this lab, the docker, gns3-pyats, replaces Weisel's ASAv and PAN VM. Those dockers can only be accessed from ubu-2 after using ssh tunneling. The file ubuntu-wireguard-readme.txt contains the full instructions.
Although all the commands and scripts are provided, this lab takes a minimum of 3 hours to complete. This lab should only be attempted if the user is planning on running a remote GNS3 VM setup using wireguard. This lab uses bash exclusively and should only be attempted by someone that can understand bash. The script files provide all the configuration and verification commands for the lab.
A zip file contains all the folders and files for the project. It needs to be unzipped and then the ubuntu-wireguard folder needs to be placed in the /GNS3/projects folder. The ensuing table shows all the top-level files in the archive. A zip file has to be used because the export project is not working - possibly because I never started any of the VMs in this rendition of the project. Consequently, the zip file is only 200K.
