docker: Update the amount of memory in [M]egabytes a specific container can swap to disk (use `-1` for unlimited).
$ docker update --memory-swap ${limit}M ${container_name}
try on your machine
The command "docker update --memory-swap ${limit}M ${container_name}" is used to update the memory-swap limit of a Docker container.
Here's a breakdown of the components of this command:
- "docker update": This is the Docker command used to update the configuration of a running container.
- "--memory-swap": This flag is used to specify the maximum amount of memory and swap space that a container can use. It sets the limit for the container's total virtual memory.
- "${limit}M": This variable represents the value you want to set as the memory-swap limit. The "${limit}" part indicates that it is a placeholder for another value, which you need to provide. The "M" denotes that the value is in megabytes.
- "${container_name}": This variable represents the name or ID of the container you want to update. It specifies the specific container that you want to modify.
So, when you execute this command by replacing "${limit}" with a specific value and "${container_name}" with the actual container name, it will update the memory-swap limit of that container to the specified value.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
