add relevant config to /etc/network/interfaces, for example I have
this on my server:

auto wg0
iface wg0 inet static
        address 10.236.153.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        pre-up ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
        pre-up ip link set dev wg0 mtu 1450
        pre-up wg setconf wg0 /etc/network/wg0.conf
        post-down ip link delete dev wg0

No need for custom boot scripts.
