About
NZBGet-VPN is Linuxserver's excellent NZBGet container with OpenVPN support added in. The goal for this is to allow users to channel NZBGet's traffic through a secure and private VPN connection.
Since this is basically their container, I strongly encourage anyone who wants to use it to look at their documentation for the configuration of NZBGet itself. This document will only discuss the configuration of the OpenVPN element.
Features
- Linuxserver's excellent and constantly updated container used as a base
- Straightforward OpenVPN implementation to tunnel container traffic through
Setup
- Place the VPN configuration file in the host folder being mapped to the container's
/configfolder. Make sure its name matches the one expected by the container (vpn.conf by default). - The additional capability
--cap-add=NET_ADMINis required by IPTables to work. Simply add this to the run command.
A route will also probably need to be added to your OpenVPN config file to allow access to NZBGet's control interface. Simply adding route <LAN IP> <Netmask> <Docker Network Gateway IP> should resolve the connectivity issue.
Configuration
The container comes supplied with predefined variables. If you wish to change them, please see the table below for instructions.
Container variables
| Variable | Default | Required | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| OVPNPORT | 1194 | If your OpenVPN server uses a non-default port | --env OVPNPORT=1198 |
| OVPNCONF | vpn.conf | No | --env OPVNCONF=config.conf |
Volumes
