IKEv2 VPN Server running on Docker

Recipe to build gaomd/ikev2-vpn-server:0.2.1 Docker image.

1. Start the IKEv2 VPN Server

docker run -d --name ikev2-vpn-server --privileged -p 500:500/udp -p 4500:4500/udp gaomd/ikev2-vpn-server:0.2.1

2. Generate a .mobileconfig file for iOS / OS X

Replace vpn1.example.com with your own domain name and make sure it resolves to you server's IP address.

docker run -i -t --rm --volumes-from ikev2-vpn-server -e "HOST=vpn1.example.com" gaomd/ikev2-vpn-server:0.2.1 generate-mobileconfig > ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig

This command generates an ikev2-vpn.mobileconfig file, transfer it to your local computer via SSH tunnel (scp) or any other secure methods.

3. Install .mobileconfig

• iOS 9 or later: AirDrop the .mobileconfig file to your iOS 9 device, finish the Install Profile screen;
• iOS 8 or later: Send an E-mail to your iOS device with the .mobileconfig file as attachment, then tap the attachment to bring up the Install Profile screen;
• OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later: Double click the .mobileconfig file to start the profile installation.

IKEv2 protocol requires iOS 8 or later, Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan is supported as well.
