## Setup
2020-06-10 01:34:20 +00:00
1. On some devices you may need to setup your tunnel kernel module on your host with `insmod /lib/modules/tun.ko` or `modprobe tun`
2020-09-25 23:12:34 +00:00
- [Synology users Wiki page](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Synology-setup)
1. Launch the container with:
```bash
docker run -d --name gluetun --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
-e VPNSP="private internet access" -e REGION="CA Montreal" \
-e OPENVPN_USER=js89ds7 -e OPENVPN_PASSWORD=8fd9s239G \
-v /yourpath:/gluetun \
2020-12-29 22:10:44 +00:00
qmcgaw/gluetun
```
2020-07-26 12:07:06 +00:00
or use [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/blob/master/docker-compose.yml) with:
```bash
echo "your openvpn username" > openvpn_user
echo "your openvpn password" > openvpn_password
docker-compose up -d
```
You should probably check the many [environment variables](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Environment-variables) available to adapt the container to your needs.

## Further setup
2020-02-22 17:07:06 +00:00
The following points are all optional but should give you insights on all the possibilities with this container.
- Use [Docker secrets](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Docker-secrets) to read your credentials instead of environment variables
- [Test your setup](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Test-your-setup)
- [How to connect other containers and devices to Gluetun](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Connect-to-gluetun)
- [VPN server side port forwarding](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Port-forwarding)
- [HTTP control server](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/HTTP-Control-server) to automate things, restart Openvpn etc.
- Update the image with `docker pull qmcgaw/gluetun:latest`. See this [Wiki document](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/wiki/Docker-image-tags) for Docker tags available.
