# Contributing to docker-openvpn
Community contributions are welcome and help move the project along. Please review this document before sending any pull requests.
Thanks!
## Bug Fixes
All bug fixes are welcome. Please try to add a test if the bug is something that should have been fixed already. Oops.
## Feature Additions
New features are welcome provided that the feature has a general audience and is reasonably simple. The goal of the repository is to support a wide audience and be simple enough.
Please add new documentation in the `docs` folder for any new features. Pull requests for missing documentation is welcome as well. Keep the `README.md` focused on the most popular use case, details belong in the docs directory.
If you have a special feature, you're likely to try but it will likely be rejected if not too many people seem interested.
## Tests
In an effort to not repeat bugs (and break less popular features), unit tests are run on [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/kylemanna/docker-openvpn). The goal of the tests are to be simple and to be placed in the `tests` directory where it will be automatically run. Review existing tests for an example.
## Style
The style of the repo follows that of the Linux kernel, in particular:
* Pull requests should be rebased to small atomic commits so that the merged history is more coherent
* The subject of the commit should be in the form "<subsystem>: <subject>"
* More details in the body
* Match surrounding coding style (line wrapping, spaces, etc)
More details in the [SubmittingPatches](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches) document included with the Linux kernel. In particular the following sections:
* `2) Describe your changes`
* `3) Separate your changes`
