Have you ever used the Docker-Open VPN repository before? If yes, have you ever thought about making it automatic?
This is exactly what I have done with this mini-project. By connecting Django Admin Panel to "Docker-Openvpn", you can immediately have your own openvpn admin panel.
Let's get started.
First of all install Docker-Open VPN on your server and create a user. Please follow this simple tutorial in medium.
After that clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/pyhp2017/Django-OpenVpn-Maker
Change the following lines in Django Settings:
...
# TODO: add your host ip here
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['1.1.1.1']
...
# TODO: Change username
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
BASE_DIR / "static",
'<path_to_project_dir>/Django-OpenVpn-Maker/static/configs/',
]
after that go to Authentications/models and change the following settings:
...
# TODO: Change Path here:
vpn_data_absolute_path = '<path_to_vpn_data_docker_openvpn>/vpn-data'
...
# TODO:Change Path here:
output_absolute_path = "<path_to_project_dir>/static/configs/"
...
create a virtual environment and activate it:
cd Django-OpenVpn-Maker
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
install dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
migrate models:
python3 manage.py migrate
Run Server and login with following username and password:
python3 manage.py runserver
Panel: <Server_IP>/admin/login/?next=/admin/ username: openvpn password: openvpn
Warning: After logging in, change the default password
If you have all the settings set up correctly, you can create an Openvpn client from your admin panel's User Authentication section. Just be aware that you can connect to created configs without a password, so submitting a correct password is not necessary. (I'm working on a solution for this issue).
