🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites:

Any hardware or vps/vds server running Linux. You should have administrative rights on this machine.
Docker installation on your server.
Public ip address assigned to your server.

1. Run docker-openvpn

Copy & paste the following command to run docker-openvpn:

docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-p 1194:1194/udp -p 80:8080/tcp \
-e HOST_ADDR=$(curl -s https://api.ipify.org) \
--name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn

⚠️ Note: This snippet runs Dockovpn in attached mode, which means if you close your terminal window, container will be stopped. To prevent this from happening, you first need to detach container from ssh session. Type Ctrl+P Ctrl+Q.

If everything went well, you should be able to see the following output in your console:

Sun Jun  9 08:56:11 2019 Initialization Sequence Completed
Sun Jun  9 08:56:12 2019 Client.ovpn file has been generated
Sun Jun  9 08:56:12 2019 Config server started, download your client.ovpn config at http://example.com:8080/
Sun Jun  9 08:56:12 2019 NOTE: After you download you client config, http server will be shut down!

2. Get client configuration

Now, when your docker-openvpn is up and running you can go to <your_host_public_ip>:8080 on your device and download ovpn client configuration. As soon as you have your config file downloaded, you will see the following output in the console:

Sun Jun  9 09:01:15 2019 Config http server has been shut down

Import client.ovpn into your favourite openvpn client. In most cases it should be enough to just doubleclick or tap on that file.

3. Connect to your docker-openvpn container

You should be able to see your newly added client configuration in the list of available configurations. Click on it, connection process should initiate and be established withing few seconds.

Congratulations, now you're all set and can safely browse the internet.

Persisting configuration

There's a possibility to persist generated files in volume storage. Run docker with

-v openvpn_conf:/opt/Dockovpn_data

Alternative way. Run with docker-compose

Sometimes it is more convinient to use docker-compose.

To run docker-openvpn with docker-compose run:

echo HOST_ADDR=$(curl -s https://api.ipify.org) > .env && \
docker-compose up -d && \
docker-compose exec -d dockovpn wget -O /doc/Dockovpn/client.ovpn localhost:8080

After run this command you can find your client.ovpn inside openvpn_conf folder.
