Collection of shell scripts to setup docker-openvpn (using the kylemanna/docker-openvpn docker image)
Prepare, run these commands one by one
git clone https://github.com/madcoda/docker-openvpn-setup.git
cd docker-openvpn-setup
chmod +x ./ovpn
cp .env.example .env
Edit .env with your favourite text editor e.g. nano .env
# you can keep this unchanged, used for docker volume name
OVPN_DATA=ovpn-data
# use any port you like, e.g. 443 or keep this unchanged
OVPN_PORT=1194
# change to your domain name, or IP
OVPN_HOSTNAME=tcp://remote.example.com
# just a name, you can keep this unchanged
OVPN_DOCKER_NAME=ovpnSetup which will generate all the certs, keys
you will be prompted to enter a Common Name, and PEM passphrase (required)
./ovpn init
./ovpn createCreate account for "john"
you will be prompted to enter the passphrase you previously entered
This command will generate a no-password client (modify the script if you want to set a password)
./ovpn buildclient john
./ovpn getclient johnYou will then find a "john.ovpn" file in your current directory, send to your client
Note: If you use a port other than 1194, you may need to edit "john.ovpn" and change it
If you don't want to use anymore, or messed up the settings, you can undo all of the above by these commands
# stop the container
./ovpn stop
# remove the container
./ovpn remove
# remove the data (all the ca certs, client certs etc)
./ovpn clean
