An OpenVPN client

This is a very basic OpenVPN client container designed to be used on the host network.

You'll need to bind mount a directory containing your configuration files into the container and set CLIENT_FILE accordingly.

This container requires the NET_ADMIN capability in order to create the tunnel and add various routes: --cap-add=NET_ADMIN.

Running the container

docker run \
            --detach=true \
            --restart=unless-stopped \
            --network=host \
            --name=openvpn_client \
            --volume=/opt/docker/openvpn_client:/opt/config \
            -e "CLIENT_FILE=/opt/config/client.ovpn" \
            --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
            wheelybird/openvpn-client

Environmental variables

CLIENT_FILE: The location (in the container) of the OpenVPN client configuration file.
