 By default, the containers will use a cache size of 100MB, which is usually a bit too small, but you can quickly set it through the `VARNISH_SIZE` environment variable:
 
 ```console
-$ docker run --tmpfs /var/lib/varnish:exec -e VARNISH_SIZE=2G varnish

 Additionally, you can add arguments to `docker run` after `varnish`, if the first one starts with a `-`, they will be appendend to the [default command](https://github.com/varnish/docker-varnish/blob/master/docker-varnish-entrypoint#L8):
