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

2. Copying the docker-compose.yml file

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

3. Launching the OpenConnect server

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

4. 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

5. Without a domain

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

6. With a domain

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