# Static IP Addresses
The docker image is setup for static client configuration on the 192.168.254.0/24 subnet. To use it follow the Quick Start section below. Note that the IP addresses octets need to be picked special, see [OpenVPN Documentation](https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#policy) for more details.
## Quick Start
1. Create a client specific configuration:
$ echo "ifconfig-push 192.168.254.1 192.168.254.2" | docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA -i --rm kylemanna/openvpn tee /etc/openvpn/ccd/CERT_COMMON_NAME
ifconfig-push 192.168.254.1 192.168.254.2
2. Wait for client to reconnect if necessary
## Advanced Admin
Login to the data volume with a `bash` container, note only changes in /etc/openvpn will persist:
docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA -it --rm kylemanna/openvpn bash -l
## Upgrading from Old OpenVPN Configurations
If you're running an old configuration and need to upgrade it to pull in the ccd directory run the following:
docker run --volumes-from $OVPN_DATA --rm kylemanna/openvpn ovpn_genconfig
