The container will fail to boot if VPN_ENABLED
is set and there is no valid .conf file present in the /config/wireguard directory. Drop a .conf file from your VPN provider into /config/wireguard and start the container again. The file must have the name wg0.conf
, or it will fail to start.
The container will fail to boot if VPN_ENABLED
is set and there is no valid .ovpn file present in the /config/openvpn directory. Drop a .ovpn file from your VPN provider into /config/openvpn (if necessary with additional files like certificates) and start the container again. You may need to edit the ovpn configuration file to load your VPN credentials from a file by setting auth-user-pass
.
Note: The script will use the first ovpn file it finds in the /config/openvpn directory. Adding multiple ovpn files will not start multiple VPN connections.
auth-user-pass credentials.conf
username
password
User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:
id <username>
