This image relies on a private Git Repository to store configuration data. Create a private repo and user account in git before proceeding.

Automated builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull tiredofit/tinc

• The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use.

• Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.

• Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.

• Alter Firewall Configuration to allow access to network ports

The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.

Along with the Environment Variables from the Base image, below is the complete list of available options that can be used to customize your installation.

The following ports are exposed.

NOTE: You must also allow capabilities for NET_ADMIN to docker to be able to have access to the IP Stack. Also, you must create /dev/tun as a device. If you want to make the Docker Host be able to be accessible you also must add network:host as an option otherwise only the containers will be accessible. See the working docker-compose.yml example as shown above.

For debugging and maintenance purposes you may want access the containers shell.

docker exec -it (whatever your container name is e.g. tinc) bash
