this project is simply a setup for dockerized openvpn from kylemanna. The aim is to best simplify running the vpn even without any skills. This install needs docker to be present on the server. Therefore as prerequisite you need docker already running before starting with details in this page. In order to install on a Ubuntu 20.04, please refer to these instructions
The setup is very simple:
Be very sure that your fully qualified hostname is setup. Something like vpn.yourdomain.com . It is important, otherwise install will fail. The run the following command
./init
then follow procedure and answer questions. You will be asked to set a passphrase. This procedure will initialize server and run it. There will be no need of redoing it again if correctly completed
The script will ask you for the passphrase for server cert, and you will be also required to setup a passphrase for the client. This is mandatory. The script will create a .ovpn file that can be used across your client for connecting to the vpn server.
./client
You shall run this script anytime you have a new client to add to this vpn.
From the folder. If you run the init script, there is no need to manually run the server itself. The init script will do all necessary.
docker-compose up -d
