Alternatively, a simple `Dockerfile` can be used to generate a new image that includes the necessary `default.vcl` (which is a much cleaner solution than the bind mount above):

Place this file in the same directory as your `default.vcl`, run `docker build -t my-varnish .`, then start your container:

By default, the containers will use a cache size of 100MB, which is usually a bit too small, but you can quickly set it through the `VARNISH_SIZE` environment variable:

```console
$ docker run --tmpfs /var/lib/varnish:exec -e VARNISH_SIZE=2G %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run --tmpfs /var/lib/varnish/varnishd:exec -e VARNISH_SIZE=2G %%IMAGE%%
```

Additionally, you can add arguments to `docker run` after `%%IMAGE%%`, if the first one starts with a `-`, they will be appendend to the [default command](https://github.com/varnish/docker-varnish/blob/master/docker-varnish-entrypoint#L8):

```console
# extend the default keep period
$ docker run --tmpfs /var/lib/varnish:exec -e VARNISH_SIZE=2G %%IMAGE%% -p default_keep=300
$ docker run --tmpfs /var/lib/varnish/varnishd:exec -e VARNISH_SIZE=2G %%IMAGE%% -p default_keep=300
```

If your first argument after `%%IMAGE%%` doesn't start with `-`, it will be interpreted as a command to override the default one:
