dsheyp/docker-vpnc repository overview

⁠docker-vpnc

installation:

• download the docker container (don't start it now, do the following steps first)
• add a startup-script for tun on your synology: open a ssh session to your synology as root, do a cd /usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d, then download S01tun.sh by doing a wget https://github.com/dsheyp/docker-vpnc/blob/master/S01tun.sh and make it executable by the following command: chmod +x /usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S01tun.sh
• add a config file for vpnc on your synology: still in ssh session do a cd /volume1/homes/YOUR_SYNOLOGY_USERNAME , then download vpn1.conf by doing a wget https://github.com/dsheyp/docker-vpnc/blob/master/vpn1.conf and edit it to your needs by doing a vi vpn1.conf
• start the docker container in privileged mode by doing a docker run --privileged --name vpnc -d -t --volume /volume1/homes:/homes --cap-add=NET_ADMIN dsheyp/docker-vpnc this method for starting the container is only needed the first time (as the synology ui does not allow the --privileged option), if you have to restart the container later, you can do this via the docker ui interface provided by your synology

using vpnc:

• in ssh console go into your docker container by doing a docker exec -it vpnc bash

• in your docker container open a vpnc connection by doing vpnc /homes/YOUR_SYNOLOGY_USERNAME/vpn1.conf

• create a mount point by doing mkdir -p /homes/YOUR_SYNOLOGY_USERNAME/CHOOSE_A_MOUNT_POINT_NAME

• you can now mount a remote directory by doing mount.cifs //remote-server-name.remote-domain-name.com/REMOTE_DIRECTORY_NAME /homes/YOUR_SYNOLOGY_USERNAME/CHOOSE_A_MOUNT_POINT_NAME -o user=VPN_USERNAME,nounix,noserverino,iocharset=utf8
