This contianer should be used with an interactive tty, (i.e. the -it flag)
By default the conainer cycles through fortunes every 10 seconds using the normal cow cowfile.
Example:
docker run -it --rm jtcressy/cowsay
Use tux as a cowfile:
docker run -it --rm -e COWSAY_ANIMAL=tux jtcressy/cowsay
Change the delay between fortunes:
docker run -it --rm -e COWSAY_ANIMAL=tux -e COWSAY_DURATION=30 jtcressy/cowsay
Example output:
docker run -it --rm jtcressy/cowsay
