Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
The Language tag is the main server-side requirement for the software.

The pull request title is informative, unlike "Update README.md".

Why is it awesome?

AmneziaWG is a WireGuard fork with protocol-level obfuscation that bypasses DPI. Setting it up manually is painful (DKMS module, obfuscation params, firewall rules). This script automates the entire process — one command from a clean VPS to a working VPN server. Similar to how Dockovpn wraps OpenVPN in Docker, this wraps AmneziaWG in a Bash installer.

Have you used it? For how long?

Yes, I'm the author. Running it on production VPS since late 2025. 160+ stars, 16 forks, active contributors filing issues and submitting patches (kernel deadlock analysis, Debian mawk compat fixes, batch operations).

Is this in a personal or professional setup?

Personal — self-hosted VPN for family use on cheap VPS instances.

How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

3 servers (Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12, Debian 13), ~15 clients across them.

Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Pros: one command, pure Bash (no Docker/Ansible), survives reboots mid-install (state machine), generates QR codes and vpn:// URIs for mobile import, supports AmneziaWG 2.0 with CPS protocol mimicry.

Cons: Ubuntu/Debian only (no RHEL/Fedora), no web UI, single-purpose (assumes dedicated VPN server).

Any other comments?

Previous PR #688 was declined as "too young" at ~100 stars. The project has since grown to 160+ stars with an active community (issues #24-#31, 5 contributors). Dockovpn (OpenVPN Docker wrapper) sets a precedent for installer/wrapper tools in this section.
