Synology Docker openvpn-as cannot login to admin area

[savvasha]

Hi there,

I am trying to use linuxserver/openvpn-as container in Synology Docker.
I managed to create the container but I am receiving the following error when trying to login at https://ip:943/admin

It seems to try openning a file inside /usr/local/openvpn_as/lib/… but this file is actually available inside /config/lib/…

What should I do?

Could you provide us with the information you used to deploy the container please?

FYI - No one within the team currently owns a synology device so we are unable to test on this platform so support will be best effort.

Hi @j0nnymoe, thanks for replying. I used the following command to deploy the container:
sudo docker create --name=openvpn-as-savvas
–restart=always
-v /Shared/openvpn/config:/config
-e INTERFACE=eth0
-e PGID=1001 -e PUID=101
-e TZ=Europe/Athens
–net=host --privileged
linuxserver/openvpn-as

Some more info. As you can see below, the /usr/local/openvpn_as/… path is accessible. There is already a script running from there.

I found it finally…
I was using wrongly the PGID and PUID variables…
