  • I made the change to /etc/systemd/system.conf and rebooted. Docker still lists the limit on tasks as 512. Using @Nakedible's comment from above did update the available tasks. Commented May 5, 2016 at 21:01

    Thanks Ryan! @BenMathews perhaps this was because both are valid issues on Ubuntu 16.04, you need to fix them both for things to work properly. This issue appears to apply to containers started by a daemon, not by a user in a shell. So everything appears fine, you add @reboot lxc-autostart to your crontab to autostart them on boot, and you suddenly get crippled containers after reboot. Commented May 29, 2016 at 11:08
