This project primarily uses golang (aka Go), along with the Beego framework and the Bee tool. It's intended for use in a Docker container. Though an excellent piece of work, the project has not really been updated since it was developed, nor have there been any PRs merged. Some development basics are listed at the bottom of the README here and in my repo.

I've done a significant amount of work updating what started out as a fork, and has now been moved to its own repo. My version of the project keeps the web ui in container form, but manages a PiVPN installation on the host. My motivation in making this change originally was to support an OpenVPN TAP server, which to my knowledge, cannot be done in a container. PiVPN can be installed on Raspbian, Debian and Ubuntu.

If you decide to fork this original project, or fork my repo, you may want to take a look at some of what I've done. In addition to merging in several of the pending PRs in this project, everything has been brought up to date in regard to OpenVPN, Go, Beego, Bee and the many dependencies. Additional data fields and functionality have been added, along with a change to a darker theme: https://github.com/bnhf/pivpn-tap-web-ui

Thank you very much.
I try to compile this project locally(https://github.com/bnhf/openvpn-tap-external-web-ui)。I have managed to run the OpenVPN WebUI with the help of installation guides。
I have installed OpenVPN。
An error occurred while the program was running！

This original project is setup to use OpenVPN in a Docker container (TUN only). My fork of the project was developed for, and has only been tested with PiVPN -- installed on the host. Which are you trying to use? Also, I moved my fork to its own repo, and continued development there. It can be found at the link I referenced in my original response.

Having said that, it appears you're not connecting with OpenVPN's in-built management interface on port 2080. Did you add the "management" parameter to your server.conf file?

I don't know how to connect the built-in management interface of OpenVPN on port 2080
I use the default configuration

When you say locally do you mean without using Docker for the WebUI or for OpenVPN? It's no doubt possible, but not the intention of either the original project, my fork, or the new repo based on my fork. I know there was at least one person, that did this, so if you look through previous issues you may be able to get some guidance from that user.

This project relies on communicating with an OpenVPN server that's been configured to expose its management port on 2080 (the default we use), or whatever other port you may choose. There really is no default configuration for OpenVPN server though, each instance needs to be configured for your specific use with certificates generated to protect and encrypt the connection to a remote client.

This WebUI can create the server.conf file for you, but you still need to understand how OpenVPN server works, and what parameters are right for you.
