> curl -L http://git.io/pdTu | sh

a) the url doesn't clearly relate to the repository

b) the url isn't secure.

c) the install script isn't even in the repository

d) I would submit this suggestion via a pull req, but alas, http://linux.die.net/man/1/mktemp

edit: the script it runs, does

> curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | bash

which does not currently seem to be the recommended way of installing chef on ubuntu, and seemingly was last updated in 2013

Wondering what the point of a URL shortener is for anything other than Twitter?

Analytics provided by the shortening service?

Install chef-client: https://www.chef.io/download-chef-client/ which actually generates the same one-liner scirpt I used, except for opscode.com domain instead of chef.io, if you run `diff` on both script they are identical with only different domain name.

Please submit your pull req and i will be happy to add your changes.

Is it possible to pull request against a gist?

This offers something similar : https://github.com/jpetazzo/dockvpn

I don't know dockvpn, but actually i am about to build dockerized package too, Since oh-my-vpn is built with chef, provisioning container should not be a problem.

I had followed this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-... and now am a happy happy user. The host of course needs not to be digitalocean.

This is very similar, except it is automoated so no one have to do the steps each time someone wants to configure openVPN server quicky.
