I'd like to ask one question though - It seems that it's possible to limit the amount of cpu and memory of each container, but not so with the filesystem. I know this is some issue related to AUFS being used internally. But I would really like to know whether there is _any_ hack that allows us to limit the size of the filesystem, or whether it's in the pipeline?
- shykes 13y agoThere is definitely a hack :) You should join the #docker channel on irc (freenode) and ask for keeb or jpetazzo, they can help you out. If they don't, someone else probably will. People are very nice and useful there.
- keeblus 13y agoYep, as shykes says, I'm always available to help. Take a look at how I built tryrethink.info (which covers this topic and more) -> http://nick.stinemat.es http://nick.stinemat.es
- shrikrishna 13y agoThanks! That was really helpful!
- jpetazzo 13y ago> [is there] _any_ hack that allows us to limit the size of the filesystem? Docker 0.7 will let you do that, since each container will have its own (thin) block device, and therefore have a default size limit (which can be trivially bumped up if needed, of course). Now to anticipate your next question (assuming it is "when will Docker 0.7 be available?"), the answer would be "pretty soon", since the core team is ironing out the last issues before merging to master and releasing :-)
