OVPM - OpenVPn Manager

OVPM allows you to manage an OpenVPN server from command line easily. With OVPM you can create and run an OpenVPN server, add/remove vpn users, generate client .ovpn files for your users etc.

Usage

Install OVPM:

$ go get -u github.com/cad/ovpm/...

And verify the installation by running ovpmd:

$ ovpmd --version

ovpmd version 0.1.0

And also make sure openvpn is also installed on the host:

$ openvpn --version

OpenVPN 2.4.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO]
...

Now you can actually run the ovpmd server:

# Since ovpmd launches and supervises openvpn binary it needs root privileges.
$ sudo ovpmd

INFO[0000] OVPM is running :9090 ...                    

In another terminal you can use ovpm via the command line tool, ovpm:

$ ovpm
