_† Automation checks for new Pritunl releases nightly (CEST, ~3am), so there might be a day or two latency for most recent release_

## Default user and password

Run the following command to obtain the default login username and password:

```sh
docker exec -it [container_name] pritunl default-password
```

Ex:

```sh
docker exec -it pritunl pritunl default-password
```

## Config

Configuration settings that can be used via `--env` / `-e` CLI flag in `docker run`.

* `PRITUNL_DONT_WRITE_CONFIG` if set, `/etc/pritunl.conf` will not be auto-written on container start. _Any_ value will stop modifying the configuration file.
* `PRITUNL_DEBUG` must be `true` or `false` - controls the `debug` config key.
* `PRITUNL_BIND_ADDR` must be a valid IP on the host - defaults to `0.0.0.0` - controls the `bind_addr` config key.
* `PRITUNL_MONGODB_URI` URI to mongodb instance, default is starting a local MongoDB instance inside the container. _Any_ value will stop this behavior.

## Usage with embedded MongoDB

I would recommend using a Docker `volume` or `bind` mount for persistent data like shown in the examples below

### docker run (with mongo)

```sh
data_dir=$(pwd)/data

mkdir -p $(data_dir)/pritunl $(data_dir)/mongodb
touch $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf

docker run \
    --name pritunl \
    --privileged \
    --network=host \
    --dns 127.0.0.1 \
    --restart=unless-stopped \
    --detach \
    --volume $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf:/etc/pritunl.conf \
    --volume $(data_dir)/pritunl:/var/lib/pritunl \
    --volume $(data_dir)/mongodb:/var/lib/mongodb \
    ghcr.io/jippi/docker-pritunl
```

### docker-compose (with mongo)

```sh
data_dir=$(pwd)/data

mkdir -p $(data_dir)/pritunl $(data_dir)/mongodb
touch $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf
```

and then the following `docker-compose.yaml` file in `$(pwd)` followed by `docker-compose up -d`

```yaml
version: '3.3'
services:
    pritunl:
        container_name: pritunl
        image: ghcr.io/jippi/docker-pritunl
        restart: unless-stopped
        privileged: true
        network_mode: host
        dns:
            - 127.0.0.1
        volumes:
            - './data/pritunl.conf:/etc/pritunl.conf'
            - './data/pritunl:/var/lib/pritunl'
            - './data/mongodb:/var/lib/mongodb'
```

## Usage without embedded MongoDB

I would recommend using a Docker `volume` or `bind` mount for persistent data like shown in the examples below

If you have MongoDB running somewhere else you'd like to use, you can do so through the `PRITUNL_MONGODB_URI` env var like shown below

### docker run (without mongo)

```sh
data_dir=$(pwd)/data

mkdir -p $(data_dir)/pritunl
touch $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf

docker run \
    --name pritunl \
    --privileged \
    --network=host \
    --dns 127.0.0.1 \
    --restart=unless-stopped \
    --detach \
    --volume $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf:/etc/pritunl.conf \
    --volume $(data_dir)/pritunl:/var/lib/pritunl \
    --env PRITUNL_MONGODB_URI=mongodb://some-mongo-host:27017/pritunl \
    ghcr.io/jippi/docker-pritunl
```

### docker-compose (without mongo)

```sh
data_dir=$(pwd)/data

mkdir -p $(data_dir)/pritunl
touch $(data_dir)/pritunl.conf
```

and then the following `docker-compose.yaml` file in `$(pwd)` followed by `docker-compose up -d`

```yaml
version: '3.3'
services:
    pritunl:
        container_name: pritunl
        image: ghcr.io/jippi/docker-pritunl
        restart: unless-stopped
        privileged: true
        network_mode: host
        dns:
            - 127.0.0.1
        environment:
            - PRITUNL_MONGODB_URI=mongodb://some-mongo-host:27017/pritunl
        volumes:
            - './data/pritunl.conf:/etc/pritunl.conf'
            - './data/pritunl:/var/lib/pritunl'
```

## Network mode

If you don't want to use `network=host`, then replace the `--network=host` CLI flag with the following ports + any ports you need for your configured Pritunl servers.

```sh
    --publish 80:80 \
    --publish 443:443 \
    --publish 1194:1194 \
    --publish 1194:1194/udp \
```

or for `docker-compose`

```yaml
         ports:
            - '80:80'
            - '443:443'
            - '1194:1194'
            - '1194:1194/udp'
```

## Upgrading MongoDB

**IMPORTANT**: Stop your `pritunl` docker container (`docker stop pritunl`) before doing these steps

The pattern for upgrading are basically the same, with the only variance being the MongoDB version number, the docs can be found here:

* [Upgrade from 3.2 to 3.6](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/3.6-upgrade-standalone/#prerequisites)
* [Upgrade from 3.6 to 4.0](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.0-upgrade-standalone/#prerequisites)
* [Upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.2-upgrade-standalone/#prerequisites)
* [Upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.4-upgrade-standalone/#prerequisites) <- stop here if you use `Bionic (18.04)`
* [Upgrade from 4.4 to 5.0](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/5.0-upgrade-standalone/#prerequisites) <- stop here if you use `Focal (20.04)`

### Automated script

I've made a small script called [mongo-upgrade.sh](https://github.com/jippi/docker-pritunl/blob/master/mongo-upgrade.sh) that you can download to your server and run. It will make an best-effort to guide you through the steps needed to upgrade.

```sh
# fetch the script
wget -O mongo-upgrade.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jippi/docker-pritunl/master/mongo-upgrade.sh
# make it executable
chmod +x mongo-upgrade.sh
# edit settings
vi mongo-upgrade.sh
# run
./mongo-upgrade.sh
```

### Manual upgrade

Assuming you are coming from `3.2`, your next version is `3.6` so you need to set `$NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=3.6` and run these commands.

You can see the list of versions you would need to run with the script above.

Example path from `3.2` to `4.4` would mean running the script once per `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO` with the values below

* `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=3.2`
* `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=3.6`
* `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=4.0`
* `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=4.2`
* `NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=4.4`

```sh
NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO=
MONGODB_DATA_PATH=$PATH_TO_YOUR_MONGODB_DB_FOLDER # must point to the directory where files like `mongod.lock` and `journal/` are on disk.

# Start MongoDB server
docker run -d --name temp-mongo-server --rm -it -v ${MONGODB_DATA_PATH}:/data/db mongo:${NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO}

# Wait for server to start
sleep 5

# change setFeatureCompatibilityVersion to current version
docker exec temp-mongo-server mongo admin --quiet --eval "db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: \"${NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO}\" } );"

# stop the server gracefully
docker exec -it temp-mongo-server mongo admin --quiet --eval "db.shutdownServer()"

# Wait for the server to stop
sleep 5

# make sure container is stopped
docker stop temp-mongo-server

# remove container
docker rm -f temp-mongo-server

# repair / upgrade data
docker run --rm --volume ${MONGODB_DATA_PATH}:/data/db mongo:${NEXT_VERSION_TO_UPGRADE_TO} --repair
```
