docker: Update the number of CPUs available to a specific container.
$ docker update --cpus ${count} ${container_name}
try on your machine

The command "docker update --cpus ${count} ${container_name}" is used to update the CPU allocation for a specific Docker container.

Here's an explanation of the components of the command:

  • "docker update": This is the command to update a running Docker container.
  • "--cpus ${count}": This option allows you to set the number of CPUs that the container can use. The "${count}" variable should be replaced with the desired number of CPUs. For example, "--cpus 2" will allocate 2 CPUs to the container.
  • "${container_name}": This is the name or ID of the container that you want to update.

By running this command, you can dynamically change the CPU allocation of a specific Docker container.

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.
