codespaces-contrib / codespaces-openvpn Goto Github PK

Hi @Chuxel, What are your thoughts on pulling https://github.com/jamesboehmer/codespaces-openvpn3 into codespaces-contrib, or merge it here directly into this repo?

More info here, but wanted to link in this repo in case it trips up others.

I found the OPENVPN_CONFIG env var wasn't being set, presumably because it spans multiple lines.

It appears that you can safely remove all the newlines from vpnconfig.ovpn and openvpn --config can still read it, so perhaps recommend doing that (and surrounding with "s) before putting in a secret?

When using this with docker-in-docker,
destinations won't be reachable from containers running in a Codespace
if you are using "dockerComposeFile": "docker-compose.yml" in devcontainer.json.

The workaround is to set network_mode: host in your docker-compose.yml.

A good test is running $ route -n, if you don't see this ⬇️ in the parent container then it won't work.

0. the comma here makes it an invalid json file:

1. the base image is mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/base:0-bullseye which doesn't even have Python (i assume lots of ppl need to connect to private network in order to install from their private pypi)
2. after i switched it to mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/python:3.8-bullseye the instance became very unstable. i always got disconnected a few mins after spinning it up
3. then i switched back to base:0-bullseye, it became unstable too. my only guess is: the entire codespaces is still very beta
4. this repo has no updates in 7 months. no one responds with the issues. no one evaluates PRs. so the key question is has github stopped developing codespaces at all???

Setup my codespace using

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends openvpn resolvconf

Added to my client.ovpn

script-security 2 
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf 
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

Confirmed that the script was being called correctly and passed the multiple dhcp-options.

Expected my /etc/resolv.conf to be updated with all of the pushed dhcp-options among other things.

However, my resolv.conf is not updated correctly with multiple

Firstly thanks, this works great!

I've copy / pasted in for now, but could this be a good candidate for the features which live in script-library?
