docker: Update the maximum number of process IDs allowed inside a specific container (use `-1` for unlimited).
$ docker update --pids-limit ${count} ${container_name}
try on your machine
This command is used to update the process ID (PID) limit for a particular Docker container.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
docker update
: This is the Docker command used to update the specified container.--pids-limit ${count}
: This option specifies the maximum number of PIDs that the container can use. The${count}
variable is used to represent the desired limit.${container_name}
: This is the name or ID of the Docker container that you want to update.
By running this command, you can set a specific limit on the number of processes that the container can spawn. This limit can help in preventing a single container from using excessive system resources.
