This container expects a CentOS 7 or compatible host for IPSEC. Server registration keys can be created by Encrypt.me Teams on the network management section of the the team control panel.
The script "go.sh" (see ./go.sh --help) automates the Docker container setup
and end-point registration. It is designed to automate the entire setup process
via:
./go.sh init --pull-image && ./go.sh run
It is designed to run locally or via SSH to another host (e.g. VM in the cloud, via the --remote option) either attended or unattended. Docker must be installed and running on the target host.

ENCRYPTME_SLOT_KEY=one-time-key ./go.sh init --non-interactive && ./go.sh run
When running ./go.sh init a directory named encryptme_conf/ will be created
in your current directory. This stores configuration files, an API key (e.g.
for fetching fresh PKI certificates), certs, and keys. It needs to persist
between container restarts.
A 90-day SSL certicate is automatically obtained from LetsEncrypt. Domain ownership is validated via the HTTP ACME challenge. This is automatically renewed for you.
| Variable | Notes |
|---|---|
| SSL_EMAIL | Registration username - required if letsencrypt enabled (default). |
| ENCRYPTME_SLOT_KEY | Required when attempting to register your server. |
| LETSENCRYPT_DISABLED | 1 = Disable automatic letsencrypt |
usage: ./go.sh [--remote|-r HOST] [ACTION ARGS] ACTION
Initialize an Encrypt.me private-end point server from a Docker image. Run
'./go.sh init' and then './go.sh run' to set everything up. Any missing
parameters (registration key and name for init; email only for run) will be
prompted for if missing.
If running with --remote it must be used as the first argument.
ACTIONS:
init initialize a docker container and register this server
run set the private-end point to run
clean remove the private end-point container, images, and configs
reset stop/remove any current instance and remove configs
shell Run the image with a custom entrypoint to start bash
GENERIC OPTIONS:
-c|--conf-dir DIR Directory to use/create for private configs/certs
-d|--dryrun|--dry-run Run without making changes
(default: /path/to/encryptme_conf)
-e|--email Email email address for LetsEncrypt certs
-h|--help Show this message
-i|--image IMAGE Docker image to use (default: encryptme/pep)
-n|--name NAME Container name (default: encryptme)
-D|--dns-check Attempt to do AWS/DO DNS validation
-t|--cert-type TYPE Certificate type to use e.g. 'letsencypt', 'comodo'
(default: letsencrypt)
-v|--verbose Verbose debugging info
-l|--logging Enable some logging, eg IPSEC via /dev/log
INIT OPTIONS:
--api-url URL Use custom URL for Encrypt.me server API
--non-interactive Do not attempt to allocate TTYs (e.g. to prompt for
missing params)
--server-name NAME Fully-qualified domain name for this VPN end-point
--slot-key ID Slot registration key from the Encrypt.me website.
RUN OPTIONS:
-R|--restart Restarts running services if already running
PRIVACY/SECURITY OPTIONS:
-P|--pull-image Pull Docker Hub image? (default: off)
-U|--update Run WatchTower to keep VPN container up-to-date
(default: off)
-S|--stats Send generic bandwidth/health stats (default: off)
--stats-server Specify an alternate http(s) server to receive stats
--stats-extra Include extra details in stats, such as server_id, target_id,
server name (fqdn) and target name (default: off)
EXAMPLES:
# launch an auto-updating image with health reporting using the official
# image and ensure our AWS/DO public IP matches our FQDN
./go.sh init -S -U -P -D
# run the newly initialized server
./go.sh run
Optionally support for the WIREGUARD protocol can be enabled by installing the wireguard kernel module on the target host.
# Specific for CentOS 7
sudo yum install epel-release https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install yum-plugin-elrepo
sudo yum install kmod-wireguard
Instructions to install WIREGUARD on multiple operating systems can be found in the official documentation.
