r4venme/openconnect repository overview

This repo is a part of the complete instruction on r4ven.me⁠ for deploying an OpenConnect VPN server via docker and docker-compose. All source files of server and client available at a src dir of this repo⁠.

When using a domain to obtain SSL certificates, uncomment the certbot service and the depends_on parameter for the openconnect service, and specify your values instead of example in the docker-compose.yml file.

⁠Installation and configuration of the OpenConnect VPN server

1. Begin by creating a project directory

mkdir /opt/openconnect && cd /opt/openconnect

1. Copying the docker-compose.yml file

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r4ven-me/openconnect/main/docker-compose.yml

1. Launching the OpenConnect server

docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f

1. Creating a user with the ID "exampleuser" and the name "Example User" The .p12 certificate file will be created in ./data/secrets

docker exec -it openconnect ocuser exampleuser 'Example User'

⁠Example of connecting the client using the openconnect utility

You can also use my bash script⁠ for automatic connect to ocserv via openconnect client utiliy

1. Without a domain

sudo openconnect -c /home/exampleuser/exampleuser.p12 12.345.67.89:43443 <<< $(echo "examplepassword"$'\n'yes$'\n')

1. With a domain

sudo openconnect -c /home/exampleuser/exampleuser.p12 example.com:43443 <<< $(echo "examplepassword"$'\n')
