Runtime Configuration Options

Runtime configuration options allow you to customize the behavior and resources of your Docker containers when you run them. These options can be helpful in managing container resources, security, and networking. Here's a brief summary of some commonly used runtime configuration options:

Resource Management

  • CPU: You can limit the CPU usage of a container with the --cpus and --cpu-shares options. --cpus limits the number of CPU cores a container can use, while --cpu-shares assigns relative share of CPU time for the container.

    docker run --cpus=2 --cpu-shares=512 your-image

  • Memory: You can limit and reserve memory for a container using the --memory and --memory-reservation options. This can help prevent a container from consuming too many system resources.

    docker run --memory=1G --memory-reservation=500M your-image

Security

  • User: By default, containers run as the root user. To increase security, you can use the --user option to run a container as another user or UID.

    docker run --user 1000 your-image

  • Read-only root file system: To prevent unwanted changes to the container file system, you can use the --read-only option to mount the root file system as read-only.

    docker run --read-only your-image

Networking

  • Publish Ports: You can use the --publish (or -p) option to publish a container's ports to the host system. This allows external systems to access the containerized service.

    docker run -p 80:80 your-image

  • Hostname and DNS: You can customize the hostname and DNS settings of a container using the --hostname and --dns options.

    docker run --hostname=my-container --dns=8.8.8.8 your-image

Including these runtime configuration options will allow you to effectively manage your containers' resources, security, and networking needs. For a full list of available runtime configuration options, refer to Docker's official documentation.
