docker-latest-update: Update configuration of one or more containers
NAME
docker-update - Update configuration of one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
docker update [--blkio-weight[=[BLKIO-WEIGHT]]] [--cpu-shares[=0]] [--cpu-period[=0]] [--cpu-quota[=0]] [--cpuset-cpus[=CPUSET-CPUS]] [--cpuset-mems[=CPUSET-MEMS]] [--help] [--kernel-memory[=KERNEL-MEMORY]] [-m|--memory[=MEMORY]] [--memory-reservation[=MEMORY-RESERVATION]] [--memory-swap[=MEMORY-SWAP]] [--restart[=""]] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
DESCRIPTION
The docker update command dynamically updates container configuration. you can Use this command to prevent containers from consuming too many resources from their Docker host. With a single command, you can place limits on a single container or on many. To specify more than one container, provide space-separated list of container names or IDs.
With the exception of the --kernel-memory value, you can specify these options on a running or a stopped container. You can only update --kernel-memory on a stopped container. When you run docker update on stopped container, the next time you restart it, the container uses those values.
Another configuration you can change with this command is restart policy, new restart policy will take effect instantly after you run docker update on a container.
OPTIONS
--blkio-weight=0
Block IO weight
--cpu-shares=0
CPU shares
--cpu-period=0
Limit the CPU CFS
--cpu-quota=0
Limit the CPU CFS
--cpuset-cpus=""
CPUs in which to allow execution
--cpuset-mems=""
Memory nodes(MEMs)
--help
Print usage statement
--kernel-memory=""
Kernel memory limit
Note that you can not update kernel memory to a running container, it can only be updated to a stopped container, and affect after it's started.
-m, --memory=""
Memory limit
--memory-reservation=""
Memory soft limit
--memory-swap=""
Total memory limit
--restart=""
Restart policy to apply when a container exits
EXAMPLES
The following sections illustrate ways to use this command.
Update a container with cpu-shares=512
To limit a container's cpu-shares to 512, first identify the container name or ID. You can use docker ps to find these values. You can also use the ID returned from the docker run command. Then, do the following:
-
$ docker update --cpu-shares 512 abebf7571666
Update a container with cpu-shares and memory
To update multiple resource configurations for multiple containers:
-
$ docker update --cpu-shares 512 -m 300M abebf7571666 hopeful_morse
Update a container's restart policy
To update restart policy for one or more containers:
-
$ docker update --restart=on-failure:3 abebf7571666 hopeful_morse
