Please update all base image and packages to latest, which resolved many security loop holes.

Please update for amd64 and also for aarch64. thanks

Yes i love this image, the best so far i know. How can we help to update/rebuild this image with the latest openvpn version? Thanks alot!

pull the repository and then build the image manually. it worked for me and now its using openvpn v 2.5.2, even though the latest is 2.5.3 but i guess alpine have yet to update their package.

docker-compose example:

clone the repo to the same file where the compose config is located

version: '2'
services:
  openvpn:
    cap_add:
     - NET_ADMIN
#    image: kylemanna/openvpn
    build:
      context: ./docker-openvpn
      dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
    container_name: openvpn
    ports:
     - "1194:1194/udp"
    restart: always
    volumes:
     - ./openvpn-data/conf:/etc/openvpn

and then docker-compose build --pull (V1) or docker compose build --pull (V2) and then run the project normally with docker-compose/docker compose up -d

Okay thanks, but this project seems a bit dead, how can we help to revive it? Or is theire a newer project?

[FarisZR]

there is this one https://github.com/dockovpn/docker-openvpn but it has its own problems, like persistent configs not working https://github.com/dockovpn/docker-openvpn/issues/132

anyway, i hope kyle returns because this is a temporary fix that might break at anytime. dockovpn looks like a good alternative and its image is updated regularly

Thanks, @fariszr !

Yes, @git-the-bits- very keen on seeing this image use the latest OpenVPN packages.

@kylemanna shouldn't there be automated builds happening?

This is the repo that I maintain: https://hub.docker.com/r/lisenet/openvpn

It gets the latest version short after one has been published.
