Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hwdsl2/docker-ipsec-vpn-server/issues/6

Hi, I've been using docker-ipsec-vpn-server with a lot of success, there's only one little hiccup. I'm using Android 6.0, so I followed the step here https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/docs/clients.md#android to change /etc/ipsec.conf (using docker cp).

However, every time I restart the container or my machine, the ipsec.conf file gets reverted back to its original state, and then I have to make the same changes again. I'm not sure whether this is an expected behaviour. What's a good way to persist my changes?

@kc1212 Hello. Please try the following solution:

First, get a shell inside the container:

docker exec -it ipsec-vpn-server /bin/bash

Then edit /opt/src/run.sh to prevent ipsec.conf from being overwritten at restart:

export TERM=xterm
apt-get update && apt-get install nano
nano /opt/src/run.sh

Comment out these lines:

cat > /etc/ipsec.conf <<EOF
... ...
EOF

When finished, exit the container. Then restart it and check:

docker restart ipsec-vpn-server
docker exec -it ipsec-vpn-server cat /etc/ipsec.conf
