A question about programmatically usage.

[arthurfiorette]

Hi! I'm looking for possibilities to start an openvpn instance programmatically. So, I went looking for integrations with docker and came to this github page. I saw that, apparently, the only part that needs interaction for configuration is at the beginning, by calling the ovpn_genconfig script file.

My default go to now would be to override that file to accept input in an easier format like json and etc. I wanted to know if it would be easier to do in another way or if something similar is already implemented.

You could script running the necessary commands with expressions. Then you can input values to that script, and possibly a target computer with docker installed, or promt for credentials to a remote instance.

add some lines to extract needed files, dump them somewhere, and give someone access to those files.
