How to use WireGuard

The container will fail to boot if VPN_ENABLED is set and there is no valid .conf file present in the /config/wireguard directory. Drop a .conf file from your VPN provider into /config/wireguard and start the container again. The file must have the name wg0.conf, or it will fail to start.

How to use OpenVPN

The container will fail to boot if VPN_ENABLED is set and there is no valid .ovpn file present in the /config/openvpn directory. Drop a .ovpn file from your VPN provider into /config/openvpn (if necessary with additional files like certificates) and start the container again. You may need to edit the ovpn configuration file to load your VPN credentials from a file by setting auth-user-pass.

Note: The script will use the first ovpn file it finds in the /config/openvpn directory. Adding multiple ovpn files will not start multiple VPN connections.

Example auth-user-pass option for .ovpn files

auth-user-pass credentials.conf

Example credentials.conf

username
password

PUID/PGID

User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:

id <username>

Issues

If you are having issues with this container please submit an issue on GitHub. Please provide logs, Docker version and other information that can simplify reproducing the issue. If possible, always use the most up to date version of Docker, you operating system, kernel and the container itself. Support is always a best-effort basis.
