What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A Docker image and shell tooling that runs an OpenVPN server in a container, bundled with an EasyRSA PKI certificate authority. It automates server configuration, CA initialization, client certificate generation, and client config export.

Use cases

  • set up a personal VPN server with docker
  • run openvpn in a container
  • generate openvpn client certificates with easyrsa
  • self-host a vpn on a cheap vps
  • manage a pki certificate authority for openvpn
  • export .ovpn client config files

When to choose

  • you want a quick, well-tested OpenVPN server on any Docker-capable host
  • you need integrated EasyRSA PKI and client certificate management
  • you prefer containerized infrastructure with systemd or docker-compose support

When to avoid

  • you need WireGuard or a modern high-performance VPN protocol
  • you want a GUI-managed VPN solution
  • you cannot grant NET_ADMIN capabilities or host network access to containers
