IKEv2 VPN Server on Docker on Raspberry Pi

IKEv2 VPN server Docker image targeting ARMv6 for compatibility with early Raspberry Pi (1, Zero), with .mobileconfig generation for easy use with iOS & macOS.

Later Raspberry Pis with later (ARMv7+) instruction sets can probably use the standard image.

Forked from https://github.com/iceton/docker-ikev2-vpn-server

Usage

1. Start the IKEv2 VPN Server

docker run --privileged -d --name ikev2-vpn-server --restart=always -p 500:500/udp -p 4500:4500/udp icet/ikev2-vpn-server-rpi

2. Generate the .mobileconfig (for iOS / macOS)

docker run --privileged -i -t --rm --volumes-from ikev2-vpn-server -e "HOST=vpn1.example.com" icet/ikev2-vpn-server-rpi generate-mobileconfig > ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig

Be sure to replace vpn1.example.com with your own domain name and resolve it to you server's IP address. Simply put an IP address is supported as well (and enjoy an even faster handshake speed).

Transfer the generated ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig file to your local computer via SSH tunnel (scp) or any other secure methods.

3. Install the .mobileconfig (for iOS / macOS)

iOS 9 or later: AirDrop the .mobileconfig file to your iOS 9 device, finish the Install Profile screen;
macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later: Double click the .mobileconfig file to start the profile installation wizard.

Upon container creation, a shared secret was generated for authentication purpose, no certificate, username, or password was ever used, simple life!
