Hello,

I am trying to play around with VyOS in a docker container. It won’t keep running, it just stops. Can’t figure it out. Can anyone advise please? Thank you

docker run -d --name vyos vyos/vyos-build:current

.

docker ps --all

It is not VyOS in docker container.
It is a “vyos-build” container which includes all pkgs which needed to build .iso
More details in our docs

Hello,

I have a similar problem, maybe I misunderstood something.
I’m trying to use Docker to create a container from a Vyos Image.
In a Dockerfile, I specified the following command : FROM vyos/vyos-build:crux.

Then I run in a terminal :

sudo docker build -t vyos . 
sudo docker run -it vyos

And I got the same error as BarrySDCA, :

Current UID/GID: 0/0
Usage: gosu user-spec command [args]
    ie: gosu tianon bash
       gosu nobody:root bash -c 'whoami && id'
       gosu 1000:1 id

gosu version: 1.10 (go1.7.4 on linux/amd64; gc)
     license: GPL-3 (full text at https://github.com/tianon/gosu)

Have you any idea why ?
