OpenVPN Access Server supports a wide range of configurations, including secure and granular remote access to internal network and/ or private cloud network resources and applications with fine-grained access control. ## Supported Architectures Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). Simply pulling `linuxserver/openvpn-as` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags. The architectures supported by this image are: | Architecture | Tag | | :----: | --- | | x86-64 | latest | ## Version Tags This image provides various versions that are available via tags. `latest` tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them. | Tag | Description | | :----: | --- | | latest | Stable releases based on ubuntu bionic | | xenial | Stable releases based on ubuntu xenial | ## Usage Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image. ### docker ``` docker create \ --name=openvpn-as \ --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Europe/London \ -e INTERFACE=eth0 `#optional` \ -p 943:943 \ -p 9443:9443 \ -p 1194:1194/udp \ -v :/config \ --restart unless-stopped \ linuxserver/openvpn-as ``` ### docker-compose Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas. ```yaml --- version: "2" services: openvpn-as: image: linuxserver/openvpn-as container_name: openvpn-as cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/London - INTERFACE=eth0 #optional volumes: - :/config ports: - 943:943 - 9443:9443 - 1194:1194/udp restart: unless-stopped ``` ## Parameters Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container. ### Ports (`-p`) | Parameter | Function | | :----: | --- | | `943` | Admin GUI port. | | `9443` | TCP port. | | `1194/udp` | UDP port. | ### Environment Variables (`-e`) | Env | Function | | :----: | --- | | `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation | | `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation | | `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. | | `INTERFACE=eth0` | With bridge networking, leave it as eth0 (or don't include at all), if host or macvlan, set it to your host's network interface, found by running `ifconfig` | ### Volume Mappings (`-v`) | Volume | Function | | :----: | --- | | `/config` | Where openvpn-as should store configuration files. | ## User / Group Identifiers When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`. Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic. In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below: ``` $ id username uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup) ``` ## Application Setup The admin interface is available at `https://:943/admin` with a default user/password of admin/password During first login, make sure that the "Authentication" in the webui is set to "Local" instead of "PAM". Then set up the user accounts with their passwords (user accounts created under PAM do not survive container update or recreation). The "admin" account is a system (PAM) account and after container update or recreation, its password reverts back to the default. It is highly recommended to block this user's access for security reasons: 1) Create another user and set as an admin, 2) Log in as the new user, 3) Delete the "admin" user in the gui, 4) Modify the `as.conf` file under config/etc and replace the line `boot_pam_users.0=admin` with ~~`#boot_pam_users.0=admin`~~ `boot_pam_users.0=kjhvkhv` (this only has to be done once and will survive container recreation) * IMPORTANT NOTE: Commenting out the first pam user in as.conf creates issues in 2.7.5. To make it work while still blocking pam user access, uncomment that line and change admin to a random nonexistent user as described above. ## Support Info * Shell access whilst the container is running: * `docker exec -it openvpn-as /bin/bash` * To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: * `docker logs -f openvpn-as` * Container version number * `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' openvpn-as` * Image version number * `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/openvpn-as` ## Versions * **29.08.19:** - Update Application Setup instructions in readme to fix 2.7.5 login issue for existing users. * **27.08.19:** - Add new clients package to install and upgrade process. * **22.08.19:** - Prevent auto-start of openvpn after first time install, before configuration is completed. * **25.07.19:** - Create a xenial branch/tag and rebase master/latest to bionic. * **07.04.19:** - Fix first time config. * **03.04.19:** - Big rewrite of the install and update logic of openvpn-as to fix breaking changes (should fix updating from 2.6.1 to 2.7.3), added mysql-client for cluster support. * **14.03.19:** - Update deb package URL. * **21.02.19:** - Rebase to xenial due to incompatibility issues on some older host OSes. * **12.02.19:** - Rename github repo to match the docker hub repo and container name. * **07.02.19:** - Add pipeline logic and multi arch. * **31.01.19:** - Add port mappings to docker create sample in readme. * **26.01.19:** - Removed `privileged` and `host` networking requirements, added `cap-add=NET_ADMIN` requirement instead. `INTERFACE` no longer needs to be defined as in bridge mode, it will use the container's eth0 interface by default. * **19.12.18:** - Bump to version 2.6.1. * **10.07.18:** - Bump to version 2.5.2. * **23.03.18:** - Bump to version 2.5. * **14.12.17:** - Consolidate layers and fix continuation lines. * **25.10.17:** - Bump to version 2.1.12. * **18.08.17:** - Switch default authentication method to local, update readme on how to deactivate the admin user. * **31.07.17:** - Fix updates of existing openvpn-as installs. * **07.07.17:** - Bump to version 2.1.9. * **31.10.16:** - Bump to version 2.1.4. * **14.10.16:** - Add version layer information. * **13.09.16:** - Rebuild due to push error to hub on last build. * **10.09.16:** - Add layer badges to README. * **28.08.16:** - Add badges to README. * **01.08.16:** - Rebase to xenial. * **18.09.15:** - Initial Release.
