Windows

Prequisites:

  • gcc (for systray)
  • git
  • go
  • make
  • powershell (we don't support running it from CMD at the moment)

Skywire visor may be run on Windows, but this process requires some manual operations at the moment.

In order to run the skywire visor on Windows, you will need to build it first:

> make build-windows

Apps should be declared in the config without .exe extension.

To run it, you can generate a config first via:

> .\skywire-cli.exe config gen -t --is-hypervisor -r -o .\skywire-config.json

It will create a file called skywire-config.json on the root directory of this project.

Then you can run the visor via:

> .\skywire-visor.exe -c .\skywire-config.json

Unsupported features

  • syslog

Using syslog is currently not supported on Windows.

Partially Supported Features

  • dmsgpty

Will only work on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10.

Running a VPN-client

Running the Skywire VPN-client on Windows requires the wintun version 0.14 driver to be installed.

  • Extract the file
  • Copy the wintun.dll in the wintun\bin\<YOUR_ARCH>\wintun.dll to the C:\Windows\System32\wintun.dll
  • For better output (formatted logs, etc), install Windows Terminal
  • Run windows terminal as administrator and run
> .\skywire-visor.exe -c .\skywire-config.json
  • You can follow the rest of the guide for connecting the VPN Client in skywire wiki.
