Can't seem to set up tls-crypt-v2-verify metacheck while chroot jail is on.
If i comment out chroot jail everything is ok, but with it I get:

2023-12-06 xx:xx:xx us=525116 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx WARNING: Failed running command (--tls-crypt-v2-verify): could not execute external program

File metacheck is simple script just to make this work.

#!/bin/bash
echo "######### WORKS #########"
exit 0

I've placed metacheck file in /etc/openvpn/ and in /etc/openvpn/jail/ folders.
Did chmod -R 777 /etc/openvpn while testing.

Found solution.

Openvpn needs bash binary inside chroot folder to run custom scripts.
Thought openvpn copies /bin/bash by itself to chroot folder, but i was wrong. So i had to copy it myself.

1. Copy bash binary to chroot/path/bin/.
2. Find required libraries with ldd /bin/bash and add them to chroot folder.
3. Check if you can chroot into folder with chroot path/to/folder.

Afterwards if permissions and script is ok, it should work.
