Openvpn client in a container.

Openvpn is set up in a way that no direct connection is allowed from the container (we modify routes and set iptables).

Purpose

The purpose of this container is to be extended with layers that need access only via VPN.

Configuration

Openvpn will search for config file in /etc/openvpn_host/, it will cd into this directory and will try to load a file named openvpnconfig.conf. To provide this file, an external volume must be mapped with:

-v </path/to/openvpn-configs>:/etc/openvpn_host/

The final run command can be:

docker run -v </path/to/openvpn-configs>:/etc/openvpn_host/ --privileged -d dimovnike/alpine-openvpn

Limitations

• needs --privileged
• supports only tun devices
