# This Dockerfile is inspired from https://hub.docker.com/r/pierky/bird
# These are multi-stage build to reduce disk usage thanks to @jptazzo https://intro-2019-04.container.training/#196
# You may also want to try alpine instead of debian -Left as an exercise for the reader-

# This image is build with the command : `docker build -t afenioux/bird --build-arg BIRDV=2.0.6 .`

# The host's file at /somewhere/bird/bird.conf is used as the configuration file for BIRD (/etc/bird/bird.conf in the containter)
# if you run with this option : `docker run -d -p 179:179 -v /mnt/flash/docker/bird:/etc/bird:rw --memory 512m --memory-swap 512m --cpus 1.1 afenioux/bird`
# logs are available with `docker logs <container_id>` if you set `log stderr all;` in bird.conf, but you may write in a file like /etc/bird/bird.logs
