Running a vpncloud node inside a container

[sandreae]

Hello,

I wondered if there are any obvious downsides to running a VPNcloud node inside a Docker container? My reason for wanting to do this rather than running it as a service is mainly in order to use my regular deployment platform (dokku) and not run extra services on this dedicated server. The node I want to run here would be the "main" node which is reliably online at a static IP for a number of other dynamic peers to connect via.

Many thanks @dswd for all your work on VPNcloud!

Hi there,

so there is one downside. In order to use virtual network interfaces inside containers, you need to add privileges to the container: net_admin

Thanks for your reply, I have a docker repo here if it's useful for anyone else as a reference.
