⁠OpenVPN Docker Image

⁠How To Run

This docker image requires some initialisation steps if there are no certificates / keys already present. If you already have a CA certificate and server certificate / key pair, place them in the following directories:

• CA: <data>/pki/ca.crt
• Server certificate: <data>/pki/issued/server.crt
• Server key: <data>/pki/private/server.key

If not, follow the steps below:

1. Generate the CA and key pair:

$ docker run -it -v "/path/to/data:/data" eyedevelop/openvpn

Enter a name for your CA and hit enter. After this, look in your data folder and edit the client.cfg and server.cfg to suit your needs. In client.cfg, you NEED to change $$remote$$ to your public ip or domain name. 2. Running the server. This docker container requires a few extra permissions. On your host, make sure you have a TUN device. On Linux, this is usually /dev/net/tun. To run the image, do:

$ docker run -d --net=host --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device="/path/to/tun:/dev/net/tun" -v "/path/to/data:/data" eyedevelop/openvpn

## How To Connect A Client
Adding a client profile is easy. You can generate a certificate/key pair and OpenVPN profile in one go:

$ docker exec -it <container_id> /entrypoint.sh make-client

Or with

$ docker run -it -v "/path/to/data:/data" eyedevelop/openvpn make-client

Then, a client will be generated and their profile will be put in your data folder under the `clients` directory with the chosen name. All the client needs is this profile, since the key and certificates are embedded.
