 # openvpn-status-web
 
-Small (another word for naive in this case, it's simple and serves my needs) [rack](http://rack.github.com/) app
-providing the information the [OpenVPN](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html) server collects in it's status file
-especially including a list of currently connected clients (common name, remote address, traffic, ...).
-It comes with a Debian 6 compatible init.d file.
+Small (another word for naive in this case, it's simple and serves my needs) [Rack](http://rack.github.com/) application providing the information the [OpenVPN](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html) server collects in it's status file especially including a list of currently connected clients (common name, remote address, traffic, ...).
 
 It lacks:
 
-* authentication
 * caching (parses file on each request, page does auto-refresh every minute as OpenVPN updates the status file these often)
+* newer status file versions than v1
 * management interface support
+* tracking multiple status at the same time
 * *possibly more...*
 
+## Usage
+
+Install the gem:
+
+	gem install openvpn-status-web
+
+Create a configuration file in YAML format somewhere:
+
+```yaml
+# listen address and port
+host: "0.0.0.0"
+port: "8080"
+# logfile is optional, logs to STDOUT else
+logfile: "openvpn-status-web.log"
+# display name for humans and the status file path
+name: "My Small VPN"
+status_file: "/var/log/openvpn-status.log"
+```
+
+## Advanced topics
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Init scripts
+
+The [Debian 6 init.d script](init.d/debian-6-openvpn-status-web) assumes that openvpn-status-web is installed into the system ruby (no RVM support) and the config.yaml is at /opt/openvpn-status-web/config.yaml. Modify to your needs.
