🔐DockOvpn

Out of the box stateless VPN server docker image which starts in just a few seconds and doesn't require persistent storage. To get it running, just copy & paste the snippet below and follow instructions in your terminal:

docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-p 1194:1194/udp -p 80:8080/tcp \
--name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn

Docker Tags

| Tag | Description | | :----: | :---------: | | latest | This tag is added to every newly built version be that v#.#.# or v#.#.#-regen-dh | | v#.#.# | Standard fixed release version, where {1} is major version, {2} - minor and {3} is a patch. For instance, v1.1.0 | | v#.#.#-regen-dh | Release version with newly generated Deffie Hellman security file. In order to keep security high this version is generated every hour. Tag example - v1.1.0-regen-dh | | dev | Development build which contains the most recent changes from the active development branch (master) |

Environment variables

⚠️ Note: In the provided code snippet we advertise the configuration suitable for the most users. We don't recommend setting custom NET_ADAPTER and HOST_ADDR unless you absolutely have to. Now host address is resolved automatically when container starts.. More often you'd like to customize HOST_TUN_PORT, HOST_CONF_PORT or HOST_TUN_PROTOCOL. If this is the case, use the snippet below (dont forget to replace <custom port> and <custom protocol> with your values):

DOCKOVPN_CONFIG_PORT=<custom port>
DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PORT=<custom port>
DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PROTOCOL=<custom protocol>
docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-p $DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PORT:1194/$DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PROTOCOL -p $DOCKOVPN_CONFIG_PORT:8080/tcp \
-e HOST_CONF_PORT="$DOCKOVPN_CONFIG_PORT" \
-e HOST_TUN_PORT="$DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PORT" \
-e HOST_TUN_PROTOCOL="$DOCKOVPN_TUNNEL_PROTOCOL" \
--name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn

Container options

⚠️ Note: We strongly recommend always run your container with -r option, even though it will take container a bit longer to start. In future releases we will apply this option by default:

docker run -it --rm --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-p 1194:1194/udp -p 80:8080/tcp \
--name dockovpn alekslitvinenk/openvpn -r

Container commands

After container was run using docker run command, it's possible to execute additional commands using docker exec command. For example, docker exec <container id> ./version.sh. See table below to get the full list of supported commands.

| Command | Description | Parameters | Example | | :------: | :---------: | :--------: | :-----: | | ./version.sh | Outputs full container version, i.e Dockovpn v1.2.0 | | docker exec dockovpn ./version.sh | | ./genclient.sh | Generates new client configuration | z — Optional. Puts newly generated client.ovpn file into client.zip archive. zp paswd — Optional. Puts newly generated client.ovpn file into client.zip archive with password pswd o — Optional. Prints cert to the output. oz — Optional. Prints zipped cert to the output. Use with output redirection. ozp paswd — Optional. Prints encrypted zipped cert to the output. Use with output redirection. n profile_name — Optional. Use specified profile_name parameter instead of random id. Prints client.ovpn to the output np profile_name — Optional. Use specified profile_name parameter instead of random id and protects by password asked by stdin. Password refers to the connection and it will be asked during connection stage. Prints client.ovpn to the output | docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh z docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh zp 123 docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh o > client.ovpn docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh oz > client.zip docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh ozp paswd > client.zip docker exec dockovpn ./genclient.sh n profile_name docker exec -ti dockovpn ./genclient.sh np profile_name | | ./rmclient.sh | Revokes client certificate thus making him/her anable to connect to given Dockovpn server. | Client Id, i.e vFOoQ3Hngz4H790IpRo6JgKR6cMR3YAp | docker exec dockovpn ./rmclient.sh vFOoQ3Hngz4H790IpRo6JgKR6cMR3YAp | | ./listconfigs.sh | List all generated available config IDs | | docker exec dockovpn ./listconfigs.sh | | ./getconfig.sh | Return previously generated config by client ID | Client Id, i.e vFOoQ3Hngz4H790IpRo6JgKR6cMR3YAp | docker exec dockovpn./getconfig.sh vFOoQ3Hngz4H790IpRo6JgKR6cMR3YAp |

⚠️ Note: If you generated a new client configuration with custom name e.g dockovpn exec ./genclient.sh n customname and then chose to remove this config using dockovpn exec ./rmclient.sh customname, the client certificate is revoked permanently in this server, therefore, you cannot create client configuration with the same name again. Doing so will result in error Sat Oct 28 10:05:17 2023 Client with this id [customname] already exists.

🚀 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 dockovpn

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 \
--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 be
