mikulasp/openvpn-ce repository overview

⁠OpenVPN Community Edition

A minimal OpenVPN Community Edition Docker image with OpenSSL and essential network troubleshooting tools.

Included packages:

  • openvpn
  • openssl
  • iputils-ping
  • traceroute
  • dnsutils

⁠Docker

Run one OpenVPN server or client instance per container by mounting an OpenVPN configuration file.

Server:

docker run --rm \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  --device /dev/net/tun \
  -v ./server.conf:/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:ro \
  mikulasp/openvpn-ce:latest

Client:

docker run --rm \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  --device /dev/net/tun \
  -v ./client.conf:/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:ro \
  mikulasp/openvpn-ce:latest

You can also override the default configuration path:

docker run --rm \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  --device /dev/net/tun \
  -v ./config:/config:ro \
  mikulasp/openvpn-ce:latest \
  --config /config/client.conf

Each container should run a single OpenVPN instance. To run multiple servers or clients, start multiple containers with separate configurations.

⁠Docker Compose

Run it with Docker Compose by mounting your configuration file and granting access to the TUN device:

services:
  openvpn:
    image: mikulasp/openvpn-ce:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - ./openvpn.conf:/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:ro

Optionally run it with a certificates directory mounted separately:

services:
  openvpn:
    image: mikulasp/openvpn-ce:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - ./openvpn.conf:/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf:ro 
      - ./certs:/etc/openvpn/certs:ro

Then reference these certificates in your OpenVPN configuration:

ca /etc/openvpn/certs/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/certs/client.crt
key /etc/openvpn/certs/client.key
