Docker Question re: VPN

[dvd.collector]

I haven't made the move to v6 yet but am excited by all of the work around virtualisation and docker!  I've been thinking about my strategy in consolidating a number of other machines/applications all to my unraid server but came up with a question:

 

If I wanted to use a docker of say sickbeard and run that traffic thru a VPN (which would require openVPN probably) how would that be achieved?  It would only be that one app i'd want external traffic running thru a VPN - other apps would not use the VPN.

 

Is this possible using docker?  If so, how?

I want to do something similar. In theory, the way is to set up a client on unraid and use iptables to do the routing based on destination. 

However, in practice I am not sure how to do it!

I'm in the process of doing this same thing, I think all you'll need to do is install the openvpn client for slackware 14 on the system (and all it's dependencies), then route your internet-facing traffic through that VPN connection (assuming that's how yours works).

 

A good bit of the config you'll need to do is located here:

If I get it working, I'll be sure to let you guys know how I managed it..

Yeah, I found it about 15 minutes after posting, and didn't remember to edit/add to my post here, lol.  Got it running and it works fine with my VPN connection after some trial and error on my end.
