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.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
