# openvpn-status-web [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cmur2/openvpn-status-web.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/cmur2/openvpn-status-web) ## Description Small (another word for naive in this case, it's simple and serves my needs) [Rack](http://rack.github.com/) application providing the information an [OpenVPN](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html) server collects in it's status file especially including a list of currently connected clients (common name, remote address, traffic, ...). It lacks: * caching (parses file on each request, page does auto-refresh every minute as OpenVPN updates the status file these often by default) * management interface support * *possibly more...* ## Usage Install the gem: gem install openvpn-status-web Create a configuration file in YAML format somewhere: ```yaml # listen address and port host: "0.0.0.0" port: "8080" # optional: drop priviliges in case you want to but you should give this user at least read access on the log files user: "nobody" group: "nogroup" # logfile is optional, logs to STDOUT else logfile: "openvpn-status-web.log" # hash with each VPNs display name for humans as key and further config as value vpns: My Small VPN: # the status file path and status file format version are required version: 1 status_file: "/var/log/openvpn-status.log" My Other VPN: version: 3 status_file: "/var/log/other-openvpn-status.log" ``` Your OpenVPN configuration should contain something like this: ``` # ...snip... status /var/log/openvpn-status.log status-version 1 # ...snip... ``` For more information about OpenVPN status file and version, see their [man page](https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Openvpn23ManPage). openvpn-status-web is able to parse all versions from 1 to 3. ## Advanced topics ### Authentication If the information exposed is important to you serve it via the VPN or use a webserver as a proxy to handle SSL and/or HTTP authentication. ### Init scripts The [Debian 6 init.d script](init.d/debian-6-openvpn-status-web) assumes that openvpn-status-web is installed into the system ruby (no RVM support) and the config.yaml is at /opt/openvpn-status-web/config.yaml.
