Container for the openvpn won't start

What is the expected behavior?

Container for the openvpn should start

Steps to reproduce

Default installation, just changed this:

In docker-compose, openvpn container:

environment:
      REQ_COUNTRY: ES
      REQ_PROVINCE: Araba
      REQ_CITY: Vitoria-Gasteiz
      REQ_ORG: Copyleft Certificate Co
      REQ_OU: My Organizational Unit
      REQ_CN: MyOpenVPN

I renamed containers to "openvpn_wan" and "pihole_wan" (have an internal pihole running).

Hey! I never actually tried changing these, but could you try adjusting the variables you mention in openvpn/config/easy-rsa.vars as well so that they have the same value as you provide to the openvpn container? Might be an issue caused by having them set to a different value in one place but not another :)
