Random things I do to debug the containers.
-
Create a shell in the running docker container with
docker exec
. -
To modify the data, you can also mount the data container and modify it with
docker run --rm -it -v $OVPN_DATA:/etc/openvpn registry.gitlab.com/ix.ai/openvpn bash -l
-
Get the container's name or container ID:
root@vpn:~/docker-openvpn# docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES ed335aaa9b82 registry.gitlab.com/ix.ai/openvpn:latest ovpn_run 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:1194->1194/udp sad_lovelace
-
Tail the logs:
root@vpn:~/docker-openvpn# docker logs -f sad_lovelace + mkdir -p /dev/net + [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ] + mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 + [ ! -d /etc/openvpn/ccd ] + iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.254.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE + iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.255.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE + conf=/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf + [ ! -s /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf ] + conf=/etc/openvpn/udp1194.conf + openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/udp1194.conf Tue Jul 1 06:56:48 2014 OpenVPN 2.3.2 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [MH] [IPv6] built on Mar 17 2014 Tue Jul 1 06:56:49 2014 Diffie-Hellman initialized with 2048 bit key Tue Jul 1 06:56:49 2014 Control Channel Authentication: using '/etc/openvpn/pki/ta.key' as a OpenVPN static key file Tue Jul 1 06:56:49 2014 Outgoing Control Channel Authentication: Using 160 bit message hash 'SHA1' for HMAC authentication Tue Jul 1 06:56:49 2014 Incoming Control Channel Authentication: Using 160 bit message hash 'SHA1' for HMAC authentication Tue Jul 1 06:56:49 2014 Socket Buffers: R=[212992->131072] S=[212992->131072]
