## 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 the [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:
|
|
|
|
* tracking multiple status at the same time
|
|
* newer status file versions than v1
|
|
* 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"
|
|
# logfile is optional, logs to STDOUT else
|
|
logfile: "openvpn-status-web.log"
|
|
# display name for humans and the status file path
|
|
name: "My Small VPN"
|
|
status_file: "/var/log/openvpn-status.log"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your OpenVPN configuration should contain something like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# ...snip...
|
|
status /var/log/openvpn-status.log
|
|
status-version 1
|
|
# ...snip...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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. Modify to your needs.
