This looks fun, but if this is the only thing you are going to be using on your extremely small Joyent VM, why waste time and complexity putting your OpenVPN setup inside Docker? Seems unnecessary.

- nickstinemates 13y agoI now don't have to know how to set up an OpenVPN service. I can just use jpetazzo's. There's a benefit in Docker as a distribution platform (many companies are doing this right now) that is pretty compelling.
- jpetazzo 13y agoThat's not the only thing I'm doing on this VM; as I pointed out, I'm consolidating lots of little hacks and projects that are running all over the place in different environments. I put each thing in its own container. Benefits: - I can shutdown one of those "experiments" without affecting others. - If I want to migrate one of those things elsewhere (because it turns out to need more resources), it's already "Dockerized" (i.e. trivial to redeploy elsewhere). - When I remove one of those things, I don't have to worry about leftover packages, dependencies, files, etc. lying around. Otherwise it would indeed be a poor use of my time :-)
