docker deluge ovpenvpn

This image sets up a deluge daemon and routes all trafic over an openvpn tunnel. The firewall is configured as a kill switch.

The image is designed to provide the simplest approach to tunnel internet trafic inside a container over a vpn.

The firewall is written with ufw, check the entrypoint.sh sh file.

Usage

Create a directory ./ovpn for example in the same directory as your docker-compose.yml file. Copy your openvpn configuration files in there. Openvpn configuration files must have the extension ovpn.

When your vpn provider needs authentication via username/password, create file in /ovpn and insert your username in the first line, your password in the second line:

myusername
mys3cretpassword

Edit your .ovpn file and add a line with auth-user-pass myauth.txt. Alternativly you can specify the file in the environment variables. See below:

version: '3'

services: 
  app:
    image: janstuemmel/deluge-ovpn
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun 
    ports:
      # the deluge connection port
      - 58846:58846
    environment:
      # select port to open outgoing 
      # connections for vpn, default: 1194 
      - OVPN_PORT=1194
      # select a specific .ovpn file to execute,
      # default: random .ovpn file in /ovpn
      - OVPN_CONFIG=default.ovpn
      # select a specific auth file to use when 
      # connecting, will override specified auth
      # file in .ovpn file, default: none
      - OVPN_AUTH_FILE=auth.txt
    volumes:
      # provide a open vpn configuration 
      # directory with all for .ovpn configs
      # and maybe auth files
      - ./ovpn:/ovpn
      # mount download folder
      - ./downloads:/app/Downloads

Start service with docker-compose up -d. Debug vpn connection then with docker-compose logs -f. You can check your torrent ip with ipleak.net.

After that you can connect to the daemon with the geluge gtk ui or the webinterface. The default credentials are admin/admin.
