Adding base application

Greetings All,

Hope that you are doing well today.

I was wondering if someone might be able to guide me in adding a base application (possibly OpenVPN, Tinc, Freelan, or Meshbird) to the RancerOS core?

I want to investigate adding a VPN server to one node and VPN client to another on RancherOS nodes so that they would be either active at boot, or that I could start them when I ssh into the nodes.

I am guessing that running them in the system-docker is where I would think that they would be most effective.

Thanks in advance,
Lonnie

The “right” way to do this is to add them to the cloud-config.yml as a custom system service. See:
