We will first need to generate and then distribute the keypairs.

Creating the key pairs is simple:

Creating the key pairs is simple, but to do this securely, it should happen on the respective hosts.

This way it becomes a bit elaborate to distribute the public keys to the other respective peer:

~~nix~~-~~shell~~ -p ~~rosenpass wireguard~~-~~tools~~

ssh root@server "rm -rf /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && mkdir -m 755 -p /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && chown systemd-network:systemd-network /var/secrets/wg"

mkdir ~~keys~~ && ~~cd keys~~

ssh root@client "rm -rf /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && mkdir -m 755 -p /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && chown systemd-network:systemd-network /var/secrets/wg"

~~# keys for Rosenpass~~

ssh root@server "cd /var/secrets/rp && rosenpass gen-keys --secret-key pqsk --public-key pqpk"

rosenpass gen-keys --secret-key ~~client.~~pqsk --public-key ~~client.~~pqpk

ssh root@client "cd /var/secrets/rp && rosenpass gen-keys --secret-key pqsk --public-key pqpk"

rosenpass gen-keys --secret-key ~~server.~~pqsk --public-key ~~server.~~pqpk

~~# Keys for WireGuard~~

ssh root@server "cd /var/secrets/wg && wg genkey | tee wgsk | wg pubkey > wgpk"

wg genkey | tee ~~client.~~wgsk | wg pubkey > ~~client.~~wgpk

ssh root@client "cd /var/secrets/wg && wg genkey | tee wgsk | wg pubkey > wgpk"

wg genkey | tee ~~server.~~wgsk | wg pubkey > ~~server.~~wgpk

~~</syntaxHighlight>~~

~~You can create as many keypairs as you like for different connections or roles; it is also possible to reuse the same keypair for every connection~~.

rsync root@server:/var/secrets/rp/pqpk server.pqpk

rsync root@client:/var/secrets/rp/pqpk client.pqpk

rsync --perms --chmod=644 server.pqpk root@client:/var/secrets/rp/server.pqpk

rsync --perms --chmod=644 client.pqpk root@server:/var/secrets/rp/client.pqpk

~~Copying the keypairs~~ is ~~also simple but a bit more tedious to get the file system permissions right:~~

ssh root@server "echo server wg pubkey is \$(cat /var/secrets/wg/wgpk)"

ssh root@client "echo client wg pubkey is \$(cat /var/secrets/wg/wgpk)"

</syntaxHighlight>

~~<syntaxHighlight lang="bash">~~

Note down the results of the last two printed lines as these are the public keys that need to be entered in the following NixOS configuration snippets.

~~ssh root@server "rm -rf /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && mkdir -m 755 -p /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && chown systemd-network:systemd-network /var/secrets/wg"~~

~~rsync --perms --chmod=640 --chown=systemd-network:systemd-network server~~.~~wgsk root@server:/var/secrets/wg/wgsk~~

~~rsync --perms --chmod=640 server.pqsk root@server:/var/secrets/rp/pqsk~~

~~rsync --perms --chmod=640 server.pqpk root@server:/var/secrets/rp/pqpk~~

~~rsync --perms --chmod=644 client.pqpk root@server:/var/secrets/rp/~~

~~ssh root@client "rm -rf /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && mkdir -m 755 -p /var/secrets/{rp,wg} && chown systemd-network:systemd-network /var/secrets/wg"~~
