So I've done some work on this, and have openvpn-web-ui functioning with an external (non-Docker) OpenVPN TAP Server. I used the PiVPN script (not on Raspberry Pi though), modified as described in this post:

Be aware that the name of your physical ethernet port, used in the openvpn-bridge file, is probably not eth0.

In my case I'm using Debian 11, and I believe the script also works with Ubuntu. Here's my fork:

Since my repo is significantly different now than this master, I decide to move it to a dedicated repository. I've left my fork in place for now -- but if you're interested in OpenVPN TAP (bridged) setups in particular, have a look. It uses a host based PiVPN installation (which works on Debian and Ubuntu as well). It's compatible with TUN setups too, and I plan on supporting combo TUN and TAP installs in the near future:
