# Quick Start with docker-compose
* Add a new service in docker-compose.yml
```yaml
version: '2'
services:
openvpn:
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
image: kylemanna/openvpn
container_name: openvpn
ports:
- "1194:1194/udp"
restart: always
volumes:
- ./openvpn-data/conf:/etc/openvpn
```

* Initialize the configuration files and certificates
```bash
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_genconfig -u udp://VPN.SERVERNAME.COM
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_initpki
```

* Fix ownership (depending on how to handle your backups, this may not be needed)
```bash
sudo chown -R $(whoami): ./openvpn-data
```

* Start OpenVPN server process
```bash
docker-compose up -d openvpn
```
* You can access the container logs with
```bash
docker-compose logs -f
```

* Generate a client certificate
2016-08-04 18:16:42 +00:00
```bash
export CLIENTNAME="your_client_name"
# with a passphrase (recommended)
docker-compose run --rm openvpn easyrsa build-client-full $CLIENTNAME
# without a passphrase (not recommended)
docker-compose run --rm openvpn easyrsa build-client-full $CLIENTNAME nopass
```

* Retrieve the client configuration with embedded certificates
```bash
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_getclient $CLIENTNAME > $CLIENTNAME.ovpn
```

## Debugging Tips
* Create an environment variable with the name DEBUG and value of 1 to enable debug output (using "docker -e").
```bash
docker-compose run -e DEBUG=1 openvpn
```
