| OS type and version | Ubuntu Linux 20.04.4 |
| Virtualmin version | 6.17-3 |
I am sole owner of my server and all the virtual servers. I want to limit the resources being used by servers. Currently I set up ram usage by editing limits.conf file like this -
oneofmyuser hard memlock 1024
Now im confused with the cpu option there in example codes -
#Where:
#<domain> can be:
# - a user name
# - a group name, with @group syntax
# - the wildcard *, for default entry
# - the wildcard %, can be also used with %group syntax,
# for maxlogin limit
# - NOTE: group and wildcard limits are not applied to root.
# To apply a limit to the root user, <domain> must be
# the literal username root.
#
#<type> can have the two values:
# - "soft" for enforcing the soft limits
# - "hard" for enforcing hard limits
#
#<item> can be one of the following:
# - core - limits the core file size (KB)
# - data - max data size (KB)
# - fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
# - memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
# - nofile - max number of open file descriptors
# - rss - max resident set size (KB)
# - stack - max stack size (KB)
# - cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
# - nproc - max number of processes
# - as - address space limit (KB)
# - maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
# - maxsyslogins - max number of logins on the system
# - priority - the priority to run user process with
# - locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
# - sigpending - max number of pending signals
# - msgqueue - max memory used by POSIX message queues (bytes)
# - nice - max nice priority allowed to raise to values: [-20, 19]
# - rtprio - max realtime priority
# - chroot - change root to directory (Debian-specific)
How can I limit my user to use only 1 or 2 cores?
There is core value but it should be in Kb? I want to limit to for example 2 cores? So how many kb?
Also for cpu ?
What are the ideal values for these options for a normal server with normal wordpress site ?
