+  * ### How do I give the container a dedicated IP address?
+
+    By default the container uses bridge networking, and is reachable by the IP of the docker host.

+    If you want to give it a seperate IP address, create a MACVLAN network that matches your local subnet:
+
+    ```
+    $ docker network create -d macvlan \
+        --subnet=192.168.0.0/24 \
+        --gateway=192.168.0.1 \
+        --ip-range=192.168.0.100/28 \
+        -o parent=eth0 macvlan0
+    ```
+    And change the network of the container to `macvlan0` in your run command:
+
+    ```
+     --network macvlan0 --ip=192.168.0.100
+    ```
