dimovnike/alpine-openvpn repository overview

⁠Openvpn client in a container.

Openvpn is set up in a way that no direct connection is allowed from the container (we modify routes and set iptables).

⁠Purpose

The purpose of this container is to be extended with layers that need access only via VPN.

⁠Configuration

Openvpn will search for config file in /etc/openvpn_host/, it will cd into this directory and will try to load a file named openvpnconfig.conf. To provide this file, an external volume must be mapped with:

-v </path/to/openvpn-configs>:/etc/openvpn_host/

The final run command can be:

docker run -v </path/to/openvpn-configs>:/etc/openvpn_host/ --privileged -d dimovnike/alpine-openvpn

⁠Limitations

• needs --privileged
• supports only tun devices
