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 (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: <number><optional unit>, where unit = b, k, m
   or g)

   --memory-reservation=""
      Memory soft limit (format: <number>[<unit>], where unit = b, k, m or
   g)

   --memory-swap=""
      Total memory limit (memory + swap)

   --restart=""
      Restart policy to apply when a container exits (no,
   on-failure[:max-retry], always, unless-stopped).

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
