Static IP Addresses

The docker image is setup for static client configuration on the 192.168.254.0/24 subnet. To use it follow the Quick Start section below. Note that the IP addresses octects need to be picked special, see OpenVPN Documentation for more details.

Quick Start

1. Create a client specific configuration:

    $ echo "ifconfig-push 192.168.254.1 192.168.254.2" | docker run --volumes-from openvpn-data -i --rm kylemanna/openvpn tee /etc/openvpn/ccd/CERT_COMMON_NAME
    ifconfig-push 192.168.254.1 192.168.254.2
   

2. Wait for client to reconnect if necessary

Advanced Admin

Login to the openvpn-data volume with a bash container, note only changes in /etc/openvpn will persist:

docker run --volumes-from openvpn-data -it --rm kylemanna/openvpn bash -l

Upgrading from Old OpenVPN Configurations

If you're running an old configuration and need to upgrade it to pull in the ccd directory run the following:

docker run  --volumes-from openvpn-data --rm kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_genconfig
