For some reasons, I need to have Wireguard server working on my RPI with Libreelec. I tested WireGuard client and it appeared to work fine. What about WG server? Is it possible?
Wireguard server on Libreelec?

I wish I was wrong but I think LibreELEC arm devices cannot easily use a WireGuard server, in fact the LibreELEC.wiki doesn't even mention it. Conversely x86_64 devices running LibreELEC can run the excellent WireGuard server service with docker linuxserver/wireguard.
If you cannot change your VPN server device then I recommend that you use ZeroTier through the docker zyclonite/zerotier service because it works very well both on x86_64 devices and on arm devices, there is no server here but a private VPN network where you can connect devices and establish simple rules of routing and egress to the internet.

WG support is ultimately all about what's in the kernel (and WG is there) so there's techincally nothing that prevents LE being used to host a server, but there is no plumbing to facilitate that in the GUI or in ConnMan, which is client focussed (and no intent to add anything) so you'd have to self-create whatever scripts are needed to create interfaces and do things on boot, etc.

It is enough for me to know that no additional resources needed to start WG server.
