it doesn't work in Ubuntu 18.04,and I have no idea how to fix it

[abcdef123ghi]

my enviroment is not Ubuntu 18.04 and docker version is 18.5 I tried the following steps,however it didn't work

$export OVPN_DATA=/home/myuser/workspace/OpenVPN_docker_community/openvpn_data

$docker run -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn --log-driver=none --rm kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_genconfig -u udp://VPN.SERVER

$sudo docker run -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn --log-driver=none --rm -it kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_initpki

and then I copied my own Openvpn files which are openvpn.conf to replace the openvpn.conf and PKI file to PKI folder my openvpn.conf

-------------openvpn.conf start--------------------- port 1194

proto udp dev tun server 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 keepalive 20 120 ca /etc/openvpn/mypki/ca.crt cert /etc/openvpn/mypki/server.crt key /etc/openvpn/mypki/server.key dh /etc/openvpn/mypki/dh1024.pem

crl-verify keys/crl.pem

push "dhcp-option DNS 6.6.6.6"

status openvpn-status.log

-------------openvpn.conf end---------------------

$ sudo docker run -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn --rm --name openvpn -p 1194:1194/udp --cap-add=NET_ADMIN kylemanna/openvpn iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. Enabling IPv6 Forwarding sysctl: error setting key 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6': Read-only file system Failed to enable IPv6 support sysctl: error setting key 'net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding': Read-only file system Failed to enable IPv6 Forwarding default sysctl: error setting key 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding': Read-only file system Failed to enable IPv6 Forwarding

and I tried $ sudo cat openvpn.log Fri Jun 15 00:55:45 2018 OpenVPN 2.4.4 x86_64-alpine-linux-musl [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Nov 9 2017 Fri Jun 15 00:55:45 2018 library versions: LibreSSL 2.6.3, LZO 2.10

I have no idea what wrong I have done,I tired to disabled ipv6 ,and afterward it didn't work as well

[mathieu-aubin]

in my opinion, docker isn't able to change the configuration file /etc/sysctl.conf That file usually is where such things as net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 and other are located.

you need to make sure the file has the correct permissions to allow docker to edit it (i suppose -- i'm not docker litterate really)

When you decide to run docker with sudo, stick to it -- don't run one docker command with and the other without. Try and see if that does anything.

Also, make sure your configuration files are existing before you start the container (have a backup, just in case, who knows)

hope it helps

It does work in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, I have tested on both ubuntu18 server and ubuntu18 client proved successful result. Just go through the basic docs, no additional configuration needed. So it doesn't matter with Ubuntu18.

Agreed, this dosnt work. Basic default install and it just dosnt work. I think this only works on a totally fresh install, maybe only fit for a dropplet or something similar, but this isnt ready for prime time at all.
