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
|
2015-12-28 11:19:26 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2016-07-12 00:07:24 +00:00
|
|
|
`--kernel-memory` on a stopped container or on a running container with
|
|
|
|
kernel memory initialized. For example, if you started a container with
|
|
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# docker run -ti --name test --kernel-memory 50M ubuntu bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can update kernel memory of this running container:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# docker update --kernel-memory 80M test
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you started a container without kernel memory initialized:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# docker run -ti --name test2 --memory 300M ubuntu bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update kernel memory of running container `test2` will fail, you can only
|
|
|
|
stop the container and update kernel memory then. The next time you
|
|
|
|
restart it, the container uses the new value.

|
|
|
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.

## 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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ docker update --cpu-shares 512 abebf7571666
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Update a container with cpu-shares and memory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To update multiple resource configurations for multiple containers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
$ docker update --restart=on-failure:3 abebf7571666 hopeful_morse
|
|
|
|
```
