 VyOS can be run as a Docker container on a Linux host with a compatible kernel.
 
+## Build Container
 
-## Building Docker image
+To build a Docker image you need to have the whole `vyos-build` repository, not
+only a folder with Dockerfile, because some files from this repository are
+required for building.
 
-To build a Docker image you need to have the whole `vyos-build` repository, not only a folder with Dockerfile, because some files from this repository are required for building.
 Docker image with VyOS can be built on Linux host with the next command:
 
-```
-docker build --compress -f Dockerfile -t vyos:version-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=version --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=debian --progress plain ..
+```console
+docker build --compress --file Dockerfile \
+  --tag vyos:version-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` \
+  --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" \
+  --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=version \
+  --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=debian \
+  --progress plain ..
 ```
 
 Or, if you want to rebuild completely from the scratch (without cache):
 
-```
-docker build --no-cache --pull --compress -f Dockerfile -t vyos:version-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=version --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=debian --progress plain ..
+```console
+docker build --no-cache --pull --compress --file Dockerfile \
+  --tag vyos:version-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` \
+  --build-arg BUILD_DATE="`date -u --rfc-3339=seconds`" \
+  --build-arg VYOS_VERSION=version \
+  --build-arg DEBIAN_VERSION=debian \
+  --progress plain ..
 ```
 
-> **NOTE:** You must use proper version value for `DEBIAN_VERSION` variable. It can be only `jessie` (for VyOS 1.2) or `buster` (for VyOS 1.3).

-## Running Docker image
+## Run Container
 
 Docker container with VyOS can be running with the next command:
 
-```
-docker run -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules --privileged --name vyos_inside_docker -d vyos:version
+```console
+docker run --privileged --detach \
+  --volume /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
+  --name vyos_inside_docker vyos:version
 ```
 
-You need to use the `--privileged` flag because the system actively interacts with a host kernel to perform routing operations and tune networking options.

 **Experimantal:** You can limit access to some system resources with:
 
-```
-docker run --tmpfs /tmp --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /run/lock -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules --privileged --name vyos_inside_docker -d vyos:version

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-If in VyOS appears IPv6-related errors, for example, it cannot assign an IPv6 for an interface, it is necessary to enable IPv6 support in Docker. This can be done, by editing `/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
