Docker add additional arguments to start

Question

I created a mongo docker instance and by default it doesn't have auth enabled.

So i created a root user and a read/write user for a database, and now I want to restart it in auth mode, which is usually done by passing the --auth argument on startup.

Is it possible to restart the mongo docker instance with the additional flag?

Yes, you can launch the container with an alternate command including any extra parameters: docker run [opts] mongodb mongod --auth

The overall structure is docker run [docker run options] [containername] [alternate command to run] [args for the command].

Nobody noticed the question was about docker start, not docker run !?
