-# Run VyOS in a Docker Container
-
-Docker is an open-source project for deploying applications as standardized
-units called containers. Deploying VyOS in a container provides a simple and
-lightweight mechanism for both testing and packet routing for container
-workloads.
-
-## IPv6 support for Docker
-
-VyOS requires an IPv6-enabled Docker network. Currently Linux distributions
-do not enable Docker IPv6 support by default. You can enable IPv6 support in
-two ways.
-
-### Method 1: Create a docker network with IPv6 support
-
-Here's an example using the `macvlan` driver.
-
-```none
-docker network create --ipv6 -d macvlan -o parent=eth0 --subnet 2001:db8::/64 --subnet 192.0.2.0/24 mynet
-```
-
-
-### Method 2: Add IPv6 support to the Docker daemon
-
-Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json to set the `ipv6` key to `true` and specify
-the `fixed-cidr-v6` to your desired IPv6 subnet.
-
-```none
-{
- "ipv6": true,
- "fixed-cidr-v6": "2001:db8::/64"
-}
-```
-
-Reload the Docker configuration.
-
-```none
-$ sudo systemctl reload docker
-```
-
-
-## Deploy container from ISO
-
-Download the ISO you want to base the container on. In this example,
-the ISO is `vyos-1.4-rolling-202308240020-amd64.iso`. If you
-created a custom IPv6-enabled network, include it as the `--net` parameter
-to `docker run`.
-
-```none
-$ mkdir vyos && cd vyos
-$ curl -o vyos-1.4-rolling-202308240020-amd64.iso https://github.com/vyos/vyos-rolling-nightly-builds/releases/download/1.4-rolling-202308240020/vyos-1.4-rolling-202308240020-amd64.iso
-$ mkdir rootfs
-$ sudo mount -o loop vyos-1.4-rolling-202308240020-amd64.iso rootfs
-$ sudo apt-get install -y squashfs-tools
-$ mkdir unsquashfs
-$ sudo unsquashfs -f -d unsquashfs/ rootfs/live/filesystem.squashfs
-$ sudo tar -C unsquashfs -c . | docker import - vyos:1.4-rolling-202111281249
-$ sudo umount rootfs
-$ cd ..
-$ sudo rm -rf vyos
-$ docker run -d --rm --name vyos --privileged -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
-> vyos:1.4-rolling-202111281249 /sbin/init
-$ docker exec -ti vyos su - vyos
-```
-
-To stop the container, run `docker stop vyos`.
