Maybe instead of an external file, why not add an option like Alias/Nick/Displayname/Peername? This would have the benefit of keeping the public key in display.
For the get going you might use (GNU) sed or similar to achieve this feature. Create a file peernames as follows: s|<BASE64>|my nice peername| s|<BASE64>|my other peername| and pipe wg through sed: wg | sed -f peernames Of course you can get more creative. Maybe keep the public key there. I'm not sure how to keep the colouring though. PS: I'm not sure if BSDs or others SED support changing / in substitutions.

i really would love to have a feature like wireguard-hosts file. whereas wg command would print given "name" instead of key - so the output would be more meaningfull We have some wireguard running in server like infrastructure, where one server serves dozens of "clients" so instead of peer: l9FxaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaU= we would have something alike peer: superhero downtown some of you may be familar with batman-adv layer2 routing protocol, there they also have a batctl which is working pretty similar to wg tool. there you can add a bat-hosts file which is doing the job, which totaly works likes any hosts file a normal hosts file maps ip to name, a bat-hosts file maps mac addresses to name, a wg-hosts file would map keys to name. i found the sources for bat-hosts ( .c .h .sample ) here https://downloads.open-mesh.org/batman/releases/batman-adv-2019.5/batctl-2019.5.tar.gz is this something maybe usefull to other also? is there a chance to have this implemented by default? thx for answers. fuzzle -- make the world nicer, please use PGP encryption
