docker run --volume /data/my-keepalived.conf:/container/service/keepalived/assets/keepalived.conf --detach osixia/keepalived:2.0.20
Add your config file by extending or cloning this image, please refer to the Advanced User Guide

docker run --env KEEPALIVED_INTERFACE="eno1" --env KEEPALIVED_PASSWORD="password!" \ --env KEEPALIVED_PRIORITY="100" --detach osixia/keepalived:2.0.20
For example if your environment file is in : /data/environment/my-env.yaml
docker run --volume /data/environment/my-env.yaml:/container/environment/01-custom/env.yaml \ --detach osixia/keepalived:2.0.20
Take care to link your environment file to
/container/environment/XX-somedir(with XX < 99 so they will be processed before default environment files) and not directly to
/container/environmentbecause this directory contains predefined baseimage environment files to fix container environment (INITRD, LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_CTYPE).
This is the best solution if you have a private registry. Please refer to the Advanced User Guide just below.
If you need to add your custom TLS certificate, bootstrap config or environment files the easiest way is to extends this image.
