📋 Prerequisites

🚀 Quick Start

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/daeuniverse/dae-wing
cd dae-wing
git submodule update --init --recursive

Run Locally

API Only Mode (for development):

make deps
go run . run -c ./ --api-only

Full Mode (with dae proxy):

make deps
go run -exec sudo . run

Run with Docker

Pull the prebuilt image:

docker pull ghcr.io/daeuniverse/dae-wing

Or build from source:

# Using Docker Compose (recommended)
docker compose up -d

# Or using Docker CLI
docker build -t dae-wing .
docker run -d \
    --privileged \
    --network=host \
    --pid=host \
    --restart=always \
    -v /sys:/sys \

📖 API Documentation

dae-wing uses GraphQL for its API.

Export Schema

go build -o dae-wing
./dae-wing export schema > schema.graphql

GraphQL Playground

Use GraphQL Playground for interactive API exploration:

1. Open GraphQL Playground
2. Set endpoint to http://localhost:2023/graphql
3. Explore the schema and test queries

Export Config Outline

./dae-wing export outline > outline.json

💡 Tip: Use dae-outline2config to convert outlines to dae config format.

🏗️ Architecture

Config

Configs include global, dns, and routing sections from dae.

• Multiple Configs — Switch between different configurations
• Shared Resources — Nodes, subscriptions, and groups are shared across configs
• Hot Reload — Selecting a new config automatically reloads dae

Subscription

A subscription contains:

• Source link (URL)
• Collection of resolved nodes

Node

Nodes represent proxy profiles imported via links. They can exist:

• Independently (manually added)
• Within subscriptions (auto-imported)

⚠️ Nodes are deduplicated by link within the same collection.

Group

Groups serve as routing outbounds with:

• A collection of subscriptions and nodes
• Node selection policy for connections
• Preserved nodes during subscription updates
