Wireguard on Ubuntu 18.04.4 (LTS)?

[wireguard]

Hello all,
I just tried to set up a new (virtual) machine with Ubuntu 18.04.4 (LTS) and wireguard, but apt install wireguard reports “E: Unable to locate package wireguard”. This is not really what I expect after looking at https://www.wireguard.com/install/. 
Any idea?
Thanks, Joachim

Is your system fully up to date? `apt update && apt upgrade`?

Yes, it is up to date.

Seems like it's available only starting from Ubuntu 19.10:

It was added to 18.04, actually. See the other email I just sent.

All set now:

Is there any advice as to how to migrate from the WireGuard PPA to the 
official Ubuntu repo? Will the WireGuard PPA be maintained now that the 
"official" ubuntu packages have been released?

Best

If you're running a Canonical kernel, you can remove the
wireguard-dkms package, because wireguard is now provided by the
kernels that Canonical provides, which means wireguard will work with
secureboot too and such.

You can also just remove the PPA entirely from your system. The
versioning scheme means that the packages in Canonical's repos will
take precedence over those from the PPA.

The PPA currently supports 16.04 and 14.04. Ubuntu 16.04 will be
getting support from Canonical soon, at which point the PPA will then
only support 14.04. And seeing as 14.04 is out of service, we may well
drop the PPA entirely at this point. But those changes, anyway, are
pending an official announcement when/if we choose to do that.

I apologize that this transition is so awkward and poorly
communicated. I've had a very difficult time in getting Canonical to
follow through in a timely manner with the expectations we had for
their WireGuard roll out. My hope was that the integrations to the
various flavors would simply happen all together, and then we could
make the PPA transition all at once. But unfortunately, it's been this
slow agonizing ripping off of a bandaid, which has been very hard to
motivate, the latest installment of which from this email thread is
that the kernel module hit their kernels before they migrated the
userspace packages from -proposed to -updates. Oh well, mistakes
happen. The final step will be 16.04 support, which AFAICT is
happening more or less as we speak. So despite this being more delayed
than we would have liked, I still remain very optimistic that the end
result will be nice and work well. We'll see!

Looks like at the moment (July 20, 2020; ignore this email if you're
reading this >1 month from now) wireguard is still stuck in -proposed
on Bionic.

echo 'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-proposed main
restricted universe multiverse' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt update
apt install wireguard

That's annoying and odd. I'm CCing Canonical's Andy Whitcroft who can
fix this inside of Ubuntu.

Would be great to have the truth at https://www.wireguard.com/install/. 
With the addition of bionic-proposed wireguard installs, but wg-quick fails because of "/usr/bin/wg-quick: line 32: resolvconf: command not found". Looks like a dependency is not set.
Which of  openresolv or resolvconf is the recommended path?
Thanks, Joachim

Looks like Andy has already fixed the problem.

Both are part of Recommends: for this optional functionality, so the
dependency in the package is fine.

Use openresolv.
