Management console wont connect

[denser]

While testing, compose up and see this: Could not connect to management console @ 127.0.0.1:7656, retrying in 10s Meanwhile netstat says: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7656 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 116158182 2858418/openvpn Server json file: {"name": "Server","host": "127.0.0.1","man_port": 7656}

Any help?

Ok, solved in "crap" way. Service listens localhost inside container and we cant listen ports on host from container. So i lookup "ip a" for docker bridge ip and bind openvpn management to it ant point that IP in servers.json

May be we have more elegant way?

UPDATE: add some example ip a

64: br-aa667404c257: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default
    link/ether 02:42:0e:47:b6:e4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.66.1/25 brd 192.168.66.127 scope global br-aa667404c257
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::42:eff:fe47:b6e4/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

server.json

{"name": "Server","host": "192.168.66.1","man_port": 7656}

server.conf (ovpn)

management 192.168.66.1 7656

You could run the container in the host network. Otherwise, no.

We can use 0.0.0.0 on listen management, so docker bridge automatically can accept connections, but still need to change ip in server.json.

Btw nice tool you made.

I presume its not issue... its more looks like improvement)) Closed.
