To use, you must run a privileged container.

For instance, to run a bare, unconfigured Quagga and spawn a vtysh shell, one may use:

docker run --privileged --rm -it -n quagga ewindisch/quagga

The user may disconnect from this using Ctrl-P, Ctrl-Q and reattach to vtysh using 'docker attach -it quagga'.

Mind the above is unconfigured. Generally, users will wish to create or load to load their own configurations.

For managing configuraiton, it is recommended for users to do one of the following:

Load your configuration into a configuration directory and provide it as a bind-mount into Quagga. The following example checks out our Git repository and uses the configuration there.

git clone https://github.com/ewindisch/docker-quagga
ed docker-quagga/config/zebra.conf
docker run --privileged --rm -d -v $PWD/config:/etc/quagga ewindisch/quagga

Using volumes is recommended if seeking to run a separate container per quagga daemon.

One may base an image off of this, loading local configuration.

The following example checks out our github repo and creates a new image containing local configuration changes.

git clone https://github.com/ewindisch/docker-quagga
ed docker-quagga/config/zebra.conf
docker build -t my-quagga <<<"FROM ewindisch/quagga"
docker run --privileged --rm -d my-quagga

The above creates a new dependent image, but it's also possible to fork this repository, make changes and build it directly. The choice is yours.

Finally, one may simply run this image without '--rm', tweak the configuration, and then using 'docker stop', 'docker start', etc. This way is more traditional for management, but is not the recommended solution with Docker.
