Advanced Configurations

The ovpn_genconfig script is intended for simple configurations that apply to the majority of the users. If your use case isn't general, it likely won't be supported. This document aims to explain how to work around that.

Create host volume mounts rather than data volumes

  • Refer to the Quick Start document, and substitute -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn with -v /path/on/host/openvpn0:/etc/openvpn

  • Quick example that is likely to be out of date, but here's how to get started:

      mkdir openvpn0
  cd openvpn0
  docker run --rm -v $PWD:/etc/openvpn kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_genconfig -u udp://VPN.SERVERNAME.COM:1194
  docker run --rm -v $PWD:/etc/openvpn -it kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_initpki
  vim openvpn.conf
  docker run --rm -v $PWD:/etc/openvpn -it kylemanna/openvpn easyrsa build-client-full CLIENTNAME nopass
  docker run --rm -v $PWD:/etc/openvpn kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_getclient CLIENTNAME > CLIENTNAME.ovpn

  • Start the server with:

      docker run -v $PWD:/etc/openvpn -d -p 1194:1194/udp --privileged kylemanna/openvpn
