# Olm
Olm is a [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/) tunnel manager designed to securely connect to private resources. By using Olm, you don't need to manage complex WireGuard tunnels.
### Installation and Documentation
Olm is used with Pangolin and Newt as part of the larger system. See documentation below:
- [Installation Instructions](https://docs.fossorial.io)
- [Full Documentation](https://docs.fossorial.io)
## Key Functions
### Registers with Pangolin
Using the Olm ID and a secret, the olm will make HTTP requests to Pangolin to receive a session token. Using that token, it will connect to a websocket and maintain that connection. Control messages will be sent over the websocket.
### Receives WireGuard Control Messages
When Olm receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded (endpoint, public key) to bring up a WireGuard tunnel using [netstack](https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/blob/master/tun/netstack/examples/http_server.go) fully in user space. It will ping over the tunnel to ensure the peer on the Gerbil side is brought up.
### Receives Proxy Control Messages
When Olm receives WireGuard control messages, it will use the information encoded to create a local low level TCP and UDP proxies attached to the virtual tunnel in order to relay traffic to programmed targets.
## CLI Args
- `endpoint`: The endpoint where both Gerbil and Pangolin reside in order to connect to the websocket.
- `id`: Olm ID generated by Pangolin to identify the olm.
- `secret`: A unique secret (not shared and kept private) used to authenticate the olm ID with the websocket in order to receive commands.
- `dns`: DNS server to use to resolve the endpoint
- `log-level` (optional): The log level to use. Default: INFO
Example:
```bash
./olm \
--id 31frd0uzbjvp721 \
--secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 \
--endpoint https://example.com
```
You can also run it with Docker compose. For example, a service in your `docker-compose.yml` might look like this using environment vars (recommended):
```yaml
services:
olm:
image: fosrl/olm
container_name: olm
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com
- OLM_ID=2ix2t8xk22ubpfy
- OLM_SECRET=nnisrfsdfc7prqsp9ewo1dvtvci50j5uiqotez00dgap0ii2
```
You can also pass the CLI args to the container:
```yaml
services:
olm:
image: fosrl/olm
container_name: olm
restart: unless-stopped
command:
- --id 31frd0uzbjvp721
- --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6
- --endpoint https://example.com
```
Finally a basic systemd service:
```
[Unit]
Description=Olm VPN Olm
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/olm --id 31frd0uzbjvp721 --secret h51mmlknrvrwv8s4r1i210azhumt6isgbpyavxodibx1k2d6 --endpoint https://example.com
Restart=always
User=root
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Make sure to `mv ./olm /usr/local/bin/olm`!
## Windows Service
On Windows, Olm can be installed and run as a Windows service. This allows it to start automatically at boot and run in the background.
### Service Management Commands
```cmd
# Install the service
olm.exe install
# Start the service
olm.exe start
# Stop the service
olm.exe stop
# Check service status
olm.exe status
# Remove the service
olm.exe remove
# Run in debug mode (console output)
olm.exe debug
# Show help
olm.exe help
```
**Helper Scripts**: For easier service management, you can use the provided helper scripts:
- `olm-service.bat` - Batch script (requires Administrator privileges)
- `olm-service.ps1` - PowerShell script with better error handling
Example using the batch script:
```cmd
# Run as Administrator
olm-service.bat install
olm-service.bat start
olm-service.bat status
```
### Service Configuration
When running as a service, Olm will read configuration from environment variables or you can modify the service to include command-line arguments:
1. Install the service: `olm.exe install`
2. Configure the service with your credentials using Windows Service Manager or by setting system environment variables:
- `PANGOLIN_ENDPOINT=https://example.com`
- `OLM_ID=your_olm_id`
- `OLM_SECRET=your_secret`
3. Start the service: `olm.exe start`
### Service Logs
When running as a service, logs are written to:
- Windows Event Log (Application log, source: "OlmWireguardService")
- Log files in: `%PROGRAMDATA%\Olm\logs\olm.log`
You can view the Windows Event Log using Event Viewer or PowerShell:
```powershell
Get-EventLog -LogName Application -Source "OlmWireguardService" -Newest 10
```
## Build
### Container
Ensure Docker is installed.
```bash
make
```
### Binary
Make sure to have Go 1.23.1 installed.
```bash
make local
```
