NAME
docker-update - Update resource configs 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]] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
DESCRIPTION
The docker update command dynamically updates container resources. 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.
OPTIONS
--blkio-weight=0 Block IO weight (relative weight) accepts a weight value between 10 and 1000.
--cpu-shares=0 CPU shares (relative weight)
--cpu-period=0 Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) period
--cpu-quota=0 Limit the CPU CFS (Completely Fair Scheduler) quota
--cpuset-cpus="" CPUs in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1)
--cpuset-mems="" Memory nodes(MEMs) in which to allow execution (0-3, 0,1). Only effective on NUMA systems.
--help Print usage statement
--kernel-memory=""
Kernel memory limit (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or g)
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 (format: , where unit = b, k, m or g)
--memory-reservation="" Memory soft limit (format: [], where unit = b, k, m or g)
--memory-swap="" Total memory limit (memory + swap)
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
