tetafro/openvpn repository overview

⁠Docker OpenVPN

OpenVPN with a simple init process inside a docker container.

This image is available on Docker Hub⁠.

⁠Server

Make a directory for OpenVPN configs. Start a docker container and mount configs directory as a volume.

mkdir vpn
cd vpn
docker run --detach \
    --privileged \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --publish 1194:1194/udp \
    --volume $(pwd):/etc/openvpn \
    --name openvpn \
    tetafro/openvpn

⁠Client

vpn/client.conf, generated on a previous step, is a full config with key, certificate and external address. Just take it to your client machine and run with a client app.

Ubuntu example:

scp your-vpn-server:/home/user/vpn/client.conf .
sudo apt install openvpn
sudo openvpn --config client.conf
