Update docker-compose debugging tips to include port publishing
According to the documentation docker-compose run command does not create any of the ports specified in the service configuration. So published ports should be specified in run command, otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect to the openvpn server.

# Quick Start with docker-compose
* Add a new service in docker-compose.yml
```yaml
version: '2'
services:
openvpn:
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
image: kylemanna/openvpn
container_name: openvpn
ports:
- "1194:1194/udp"
restart: always
volumes:
- ./openvpn-data/conf:/etc/openvpn
```
* Initialize the configuration files and certificates
```bash
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_genconfig -u udp://VPN.SERVERNAME.COM
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_initpki
```
* Fix ownership (depending on how to handle your backups, this may not be needed)
```bash
sudo chown -R $(whoami): ./openvpn-data
```
* Start OpenVPN server process
```bash
docker-compose up -d openvpn
```
* You can access the container logs with
```bash
docker-compose logs -f
```
* Generate a client certificate
```bash
export CLIENTNAME="your_client_name"
# with a passphrase (recommended)
docker-compose run --rm openvpn easyrsa build-client-full $CLIENTNAME
# without a passphrase (not recommended)
docker-compose run --rm openvpn easyrsa build-client-full $CLIENTNAME nopass
```
* Retrieve the client configuration with embedded certificates
```bash
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_getclient $CLIENTNAME > $CLIENTNAME.ovpn
```
* Revoke a client certificate
```bash
# Keep the corresponding crt, key and req files.
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_revokeclient $CLIENTNAME
# Remove the corresponding crt, key and req files.
docker-compose run --rm openvpn ovpn_revokeclient $CLIENTNAME remove
```
## Debugging Tips
* Create an environment variable with the name DEBUG and value of 1 to enable debug output (using "docker -e").
```bash
docker-compose run -e DEBUG=1 -p 1194:1194/udp openvpn
```
