docker-surfshark

Docker container with OpenVPN client preconfigured for SurfShark

This is a multi-arch image, updated automatically thanks to GitHub Actions.

Its purpose is to provide the SurfShark VPN to all your containers.

The link is established using the OpenVPN client.

Configuration

The container is configurable using different environment variables:

SURFSHARK_USER and SURFSHARK_PASSWORD are provided at this page.

Execution

You can run this image using Docker compose and the sample file provided.
Remember: if you want to use the web gui of a container, you must open its ports on docker-surfshark as described below.

version: "2"

services: 
    surfshark:
        image: ilteoood/docker-surfshark
        container_name: surfshark
        environment: 
            - SURFSHARK_USER=YOUR_SURFSHARK_USER
            - SURFSHARK_PASSWORD=YOUR_SURFSHARK_PASSWORD
            - SURFSHARK_COUNTRY=it
            - SURFSHARK_CITY=mil
            - CONNECTION_TYPE=udp
            - LAN_NETWORK=
        cap_add: 
            - NET_ADMIN
        devices:
            - /dev/net/tun
        ports:
            - 1080:1080 #if you want to use the socks5 server
            - 9091:9091 #we open here the port for transmission, as this container will be the access point for the others
        restart: unless-stopped
        dns:
            - 1.1.1.1
    service_test:
        image: byrnedo/alpine-curl
        container_name: alpine
        command: -L 'https://ipinfo.io'
        depends_on: 
            - surfshark
        network_mode: service:surfshark
        restart: always
    transmission:
        image: linuxserver/transmission
        container_name: transmission
        environment:
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
            - TZ=Europe/Rome
        #ports:
            #- 9091:9091 needed to access transmission's GUI
        network_mode: service:surfshark
        restart: unless-stopped

Or you can use the standard docker run command.

sudo docker run -it --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --device /dev/net/tun --name CONTAINER_NAME -e SURFSHARK_USER=YOUR_SURFSHARK_USER -e SURFSHARK_PASSWORD=YOUR_SURFSHARK_PASSWORD ilteoood/docker-surfshark

If you want to attach a container to the VPN, you can simply run:

sudo docker run -it --net=container:CONTAINER_NAME alpine /bin/sh

If you want access to an attached container's web ui you will also need to expose those ports.
The attached container must not be started until this container is up and fully running.

If you face network connection problems, I suggest you to set a specific DNS server for each container.

Alternatively, if your software supports it, you can use the socks5 server embedded in this container. It will redirect your traffic through the Surfshark's VPN.

Provide OpenVPN Configs Manually

Sometimes the startup script fails to download OpenVPN configs file from Surfshark's website, possibly due to the DDoS protection on it.

To avoid it, you can provide your own Surfshark_Config.zip file, downloading it from here.

Then, you must make the zip available inside the container, using a bind mount or a volume.

Finally, you must set the OVPN_CONFIGS environment variable.
