Underpass

A collection of personal tunneling services based on Docker containers.

Docker Apps:


Companion Apps:


Optional Apps:


Requirements:

  1. Linux, 64-bit, fresh install. Compatible distributions:

    • CentOS 7
    • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
    • Debian 10 (Buster)
    • Raspberry Pi OS / Raspbian (based on Debian Buster)
  2. VPS with at least 2GB RAM, fresh install


Installation

Log in to SSH as root and issue the command below:

Install on CentOS 7:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabotronix/underpass/master/install_centos7.sh)

Install on Ubuntu 18.04 / 20.04:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabotronix/underpass/master/install_ubuntu.sh)

Install on Debian 10 (Buster) / Raspbian:

apt update && apt install -y curl
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabotronix/underpass/master/install_debian.sh)

That's it! Next, proceed to the Initial Configuration section.


Note

Installing on an existing system is not recommended because some containers require opening ports from the Docker host via firewalld. Other containers may also cause port conflicts.

If you're already familiar with Docker, or you just want to install these apps on your existing system, you may do so at your own risk by installing Docker and Docker Compose. Refer to the Docker and Docker Compose docs for more info.

Once you have Docker and Docker Compose installed, clone this repository and run docker-compose:

git clone https://github.com/gabotronix/underpass.git /opt/underpass
cd /opt/underpass
docker network create underpass --subnet 172.20.0.0/24
docker-compose up -d

Ports to Open from the Docker host:

  • 3128/tcp for the Squid default port
  • 1080/tcp for Dante SOCKS default port

Initial Configuration

1. Configure Immediately

2. Configure Next

3. Configure Later

4. Optional Services Configuration


Default Port Assignments

Port assignments are defined in /opt/underpass/.env

You can change the ports for each service by editing the .env file.

Any change in the .env file, or in the configuration files in /opt/underpass/config requires a container refresh.

For instance, if you changed SSH_PORT in .env from 2222 to 2233, you'll have to recreate the container for SSH:

cd /opt/underpass
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate ssh

List of Container Names

Default Ports

PRITUNL_TCP=1194
PRITUNL_UDP=1194
WIREGUARD_PORT_UDP=51820
SHADOWSOCKS_TCP=8388
SHADOWSOCKS_UDP=8388
SSH_PORT=2222

# Web Panels:
Pritunl = 4433
Portainer = 9000
Netdata = 19999

Installing Optional Services

There are additional apps that come with Underpass. Please note that installing these apps will increase RAM and disk usage. A server with 3-4GB RAM is recommended because a 2GB VPS already consumes around 70% of the total capacity when all the apps are installed.

List of Container Names for Additional Services

  • droppy
  • heimdall
  • mongo-express
  • netdata
  • nginx-proxy-manager
  • rdesktop
  • softether

To install these services, go to the optional_services folder and issue the docker-compose command with the service name. For example:

cd /opt/underpass/optional_services
docker-compose up -d softether

The optional_services folder also comes with its own .env file. You can change ports as desired, but make sure to recreate the container afterwards:

cd /opt/underpass/optional_services
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate softether

Default Ports for Optional Services

RDESKTOP_PORT=3389
SOFTETHER_PORT1=1443
SOFTETHER_PORT2=992
SOFTETHER_PORT3=5555
SOFTETHER_OPENVPN_UDP=1196
SOFTETHER_OPENVPN_TCP=1196
SOFTETHER_IPSEC_PORT1_UDP=500
SOFTETHER_IPSEC_PORT2_UDP=4500
SOFTETHER_IPSEC_PORT3=1701

# Web Panels:
Droppy = 8989
Heimdall = 85
Mongo-Express = 8081
Nginx Proxy Manager = 8181

Mongo-Express

If you wish to install mongo-express, please change the username and password in /opt/underpass/optional_services/.env beforehand.

MONGO_EXPRESS_USER=xxxxxxx
MONGO_EXPRESS_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxxx

Then, install mongo-express

cd /opt/underpass/optional_services
docker-compose up -d mongo-express

Post-Installation: sudo User For Your Docker Host

It's highly advised to log in to your server (aka Docker host) as a non-privileged user. You'll then only need to escalate to root privileges by prepending your commands with sudo.

For example, we'll create a user named userpass and give it sudo permissions.

On Ubuntu, as root:

adduser userpass

On CentOS, as root:

useradd userpass

Input your desired password if you're asked for one. Otherwise:

passwd userpass

Input your desired password.

Next, add userpass to the sudoers file:

sed -i -e '$auserpass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD\: ALL' /etc/sudoers

Note that '$a will add userpass to the last line of /etc/sudoers. Additionally, NOPASSWD will never ask you for your password when invoking the sudo command.

Log out or disconnect from your SSH session in order to reload the new permissions.

The next time you log in to your Docker host, use userpass as the login.

Add Your User to the Docker Group

As in our example, login as userpass and add userpass to the docker group:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Finally, logout of SSH and log in again. You should now be able to issue docker and docker-compose commands as userpass.
