Quick Start

Get Camouflage Community Edition running in 2 minutes with just two commands.

Prerequisites​

  • Docker installed on your system
  • Port 9443 (HTTPS) and 61700/UDP available

Installation​

1. Create Docker Volume​

docker volume create camouflage_data

This creates a persistent volume to store your Camouflage configuration and data.

2. Run Camouflage CE​

docker run -d -p 9443:9443 -p 61700:61700/udp \
  --name camouflage-ce --restart=always \
  -v camouflage_data:/data \
  camouflage/camouflage-ce:latest

This command:

  • Runs Camouflage CE as a daemon (-d)
  • Exposes port 9443 for the web interface (HTTPS)
  • Exposes port 61700/UDP for the VPN tunnel
  • Automatically restarts the container if it stops
  • Mounts the persistent volume for data storage

3. Access the Web Interface​

Open your browser and navigate to:

https://localhost:9443

You'll see a self-signed certificate warning - this is expected for the initial setup. Accept the certificate to proceed.

What's Next?​

Now that Camouflage CE is running:

  1. Complete Setup - Follow the initial setup wizard
  2. Create Users - Add users to your network
  3. Configure Gateway - Set up access rules and permissions
  4. Connect Clients - Download and install client apps on your devices

Advanced Options​
