Jackett, WireGuard and OpenVPN
Docker container which runs the latest headless Jackett Server while connecting to WireGuard (experimental) or OpenVPN with iptables killswitch to prevent IP leakage when the tunnel goes down.
- Base: Ubuntu 18.04
- Latest Jackett
- Selectively enable or disable WireGuard or OpenVPN support
- IP tables kill switch to prevent IP leaking when VPN connection fails
- Specify name servers to add to container
- Configure UID and GID for config files and blackhole for Jackett
- Created with Unraid in mind
The container is available from the Docker registry and this is the simplest way to get it. To run the container use this command:
$ docker run --privileged -d \
-v /your/config/path/:/config \
-v /your/downloads/path/:/blackhole \
-e "VPN_ENABLED=yes" \
-e "LAN_NETWORK=192.168.0.0/24" \
-e "NAME_SERVERS=1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1" \
-p 9117:9117 \
--restart unless-stopped \

The container will fail to boot if VPN_ENABLED is set to yes or empty and a .ovpn is not present in the /config/openvpn directory. Drop a .ovpn file from your VPN provider into /config/openvpn and start the container again. You may need to edit the ovpn configuration file to load your VPN credentials from a file by setting auth-user-pass.
Note: The script will use the first ovpn file it finds in the /config/openvpn directory. Adding multiple ovpn files will not start multiple VPN connections.
auth-user-pass credentials.conf
username
password
User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:
id <username>
There is a known issue with VPN providers that support IPv6.
To workaround this issue, you need to add the folling lines to your .ovpn file:
pull-filter ignore 'route-ipv6'
pull-filter ignore 'ifconfig-ipv6'
Thanks to Technikte in Issue #19.
