Builds for other targets #3

Open dswd opened 8 years ago

dswd commented 8 years ago

This is a tracking issue on building VpnCloud for other operating systems and other architectures.

Implementation hints:

fourbytes commented 8 years ago

I might have a look at getting it running on OS X, another one to add would be freebsd (pfSense package too).

dswd commented 8 years ago

That would be great. I also added FreeBSD.

fourbytes commented 8 years ago

May be worth looking at OpenVPN's implementation for OS X and FreeBSD.

dswd commented 8 years ago

I added some more documentation and changed the polling mechanism to be more flexible (could now implement kqueue) to make porting easier for you.

fourbytes commented 8 years ago

I've started working on kqueue (bsd/osx) support, just waiting on https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/396 at the moment.

fourbytes commented 8 years ago

Signal also seems to only be supported on linux so will have to sort that out.

m6ram commented 6 years ago

I adore this software. I'm a complete noob. I really want to run it on my RPi and my phone. I've been unable to cross-compile it (and I even tried compiling on the RPi). Here is a sample output:

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

@fourbytes so ,have u successfully compiled vpncloud on mac?

i saw: "fatal error: 'linux/if_tun.h' file not found",how to fix this issue?

dswd commented 4 years ago

I am sorry, but it won't just compile like that. OS X has a different way of using virtual network devices to Linux, so it will need some code changes.

ofer-dev commented 4 years ago

On windows wintun can be used.

ofer-dev commented 3 years ago

Just to update wintun 0.9 has been released and should be much nicer to work with. https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2020-November/005921.html

dswd commented 3 years ago

@ofer-dev does wintun also support tap devices? Vpncloud supports tun and tap and I would like to have one lib for windows if possible.

ofer-dev commented 3 years ago

Wintun only support tun devices. However, it is faster and smaller than tap-windows6, so less room for bugs. But if tap devices are necessary to the best of my knowledge tap-windows6 is the only option.

p.s. As of version 2.5 OpenVPN also ships with wintun. https://openvpn.net/community-downloads-2/

Any thought to packaging VPNCloud as a SNAP?

Quite a number of Linux distributions support Snap out of the box such as Ubuntu (and e.g. Kubuntu), Manjaro, Zorin OS, KDE Neon, Solus and Li-f-e.

Snap is also available for many other distributions such as CentOS, Debian, Elementary OS, Fedora, GalliumOS, Kali Linux, Linux Mint, OpenEmbedded, Parrot Security OS, Pop! OS, Raspbian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and openSUSE.

Snap also supports upgrade/rollbacks etc..

Snap's goal was to ease the load on developers and also "containerize" the applications installed instead of speading config files etc all over a disk.

https://snapcraft.io/docs/creating-a-snap

Just an idea.

dswd commented 3 years ago

Hi Brian. I thought about that but haven't followed that up since I have no experience in writing snaps. So if you want to help, you can create a snap and I will add it to the build process and maintain it as good as I can.

m6ram commented 3 years ago

It's been two three years, and I've yet to find a serious alternative to this piece of software. I have no idea why this tool is not much bigger than it is, btw. It's amazing (and thank you for providing such a gift to the world). You write code with moral merit. I might not be able to write the snap, but I'd donate for it.

dswd commented 3 years ago

Hi, thanks a lot for the kind words. I looked into building snaps a little and managed to build a simple snap from the deb package. However:

Right now the snap just provides the binary. Any help would be appreciated.

I just thought about something else. Since VpnCloud really just comes as a binary with 3 support files (manpage, system service, example config), maybe I can provide a standalone executable which has install and uninstall commands that create/delete those 3 files. Alternatively, the binary could get the ability to manage instances (create config, delete config) which also creates the required service file. This would work on any Linux system I can think of. What do you think about that? Would that be useful to you?

bmullan commented 3 years ago

@dswd

I don't know if this helps but here is the OpenVPN SNAP:

IBCNServices/easy-openvpn-server: Plug-and-play OpenVPN server which generates server and client config files for you.

SnapStore - OpenVPN SNAP

m6ram commented 3 years ago

@dswd

First, I want to introduce myself to you. Hi there! My name is h0p3. It's an honor and a pleasure to meet you. I've been an admirer from afar. Maybe that will change; I don't know. If you ever need a friend, a madman, or a retard in your life, HMU: https://philosopher.life/ (feel free to ignore my public self-modeling; it's currently being quietly written [can check the diffs]). I record my conversations (including this one, and I'm happy to think about that with you, if you want), and if you prefer an alias, let me know (you've already earned one with me).

I've been thinking about your words. I like many of the changes you've made to this software over the years (to my poor understanding, of course). I'm sure I sound like an entitled user, and I apologize. I am grateful for this gift.

Perhaps all I can offer in return at the moment is my paranoid, ignorant opinion here (might not be worth much, sorry). I think you have a tool that competes with Zerotier (this is the tit I'm trying to get off) and perhaps even https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go. Having something that "just werx" on any Linux machine is quite an accomplishment, especially if there is a simple installation (if you had more people helping you, it seems like it could be used on most unlocked platforms [perhaps even inside the browser via WASM one day]). I like to think that this tool could be the basis of the decentralization that so many applications are really seeking in the end. Here's some dumb questions and uses I have in mind:

You need a dozen people to solve these problems maybe. Please ignore my questions (they are insane, I know). You have already given more than you have to.

I don't know what fitting assumptions you ought to make here. I'm not a dev; I'm just a skiddie who uses his computer to get shit done. If you can avoid package managers, then why not avoid them? I like the last binary option you mentioned the most.

dswd commented 3 years ago

@m6ram Thanks for the compliments. As those questions go beyond the topic of this issue, I quoted and answered them in #159.

xek commented 2 years ago

Debian packages for armel (eg. raspberry pi zero and older raspberry pi) would be much appreciated

xek commented 2 years ago

Created a pull request for armel #274

uliluckas commented 2 years ago

With armel build target support merged (#274) and version 2.3.0 released, a deployment of the latest debs to https://repo.ddswd.de/deb would be much appreciated.

Lyamc commented 2 years ago

A new crate may be of help, particularly for running as a Windows service: https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/service-manager-rs

neoOpus commented 2 years ago

Any chance to have this packaged for OpenWRT with LUCI support?

aa51513 commented 1 year ago

Very much looking forward to vpncloud supporting windows platform
