Describe the bug
Running Barrier as a client on Jetson Nano running Ubuntu and development machine windows 10. For the barrier client it doesn't retain the server IP so each reboot I need to connect a keyboard and mouse to restore connection to the server. Searched via google and found others having the same question. Can't find any docs about command line options for the client to set the IP address. When running barrier from command line get the GUI and couldn't find any command line help switches. Ideally if the GUI for the client would save the server IP with an option for auto-start then would be a user friendly way to solve the problem. Then you just need to put barrier in the startup folder.

Since this is a common use case if the feature does exist needs to be documented as part of a setup/readme. Found similar challenges with the server regarding documentation that the name you entered for the client and the location needed to match exactly with the client name. No indications that the name match was required and found a blog post about that from someone who also indicated it took some time to figure out why it wasn't working.
