Details

systemd 228 introduces a new directive TasksMax (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.resource-control.html#TasksAccounting=) when running on kernel 4.3 or higher (with cgroup pid subsystem enabled). It limits the number of processes and threads that a particular service can start and defaults to 512.

Reaching this limit will cause the docker daemon or programs running within containers to crash with "Resource temporarily unavailable" when attempting to create a thread or to fork. The limit should be greatly increased, as docker typically runs many programs.

The example systemd files provided with docker have been adjusted in this pull request: https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/19391

The docker.service file provided with the Arch docker package should be adjusted as well by adding TasksMax=1048576.
