riftbit/ovpas repository overview

While others have virtualized software that is used to run on their specialized hardware appliance, OpenVPN solution was conceived and has been optimized to run as a software application from the get-go.

⁠Overview

This Docker container makes it easy to get an instance of OpenVPN Access Server up and running and contains mysql client that required to create cluster.

⁠Supperted OS

• Debian 9 (stretch)
• Debian 10 (buster)

⁠Basic information

EXPOSE 943/tcp 9443/tcp 1194/udp

VOLUME /usr/local/openvpn_as/etc

docker run -d -p 943:943 -p 9443:9443 -p 1194:1194/udp --privileged riftbit/ovpas (start|setup)

login: admin
password: password 

⁠Application Setup

The admin interface is available at https://ip:943/admin⁠ with a default user/password of admin/password

During first login, make sure that the "Authentication" in the webui is set to "Local" instead of "PAM". Then set up the user accounts with their passwords (user accounts created under PAM do not survive container update or recreation).

The "admin" account is a system (PAM) account and after container update or recreation, its password reverts back to the default. It is highly recommended to block this user's access for security reasons:

1. Create another user and set as an admin
2. Log in as the new user
3. Delete the "admin" user in the gui,
4. Modify the as.conf file under config/etc and replace the line boot_pam_users.0=admin with #boot_pam_users.0=admin (this only has to be done once and will survive container recreation)
