How to set limits from /etc/security/limits.conf in a Docker container?-CodePudding

I have this limits.conf on my virtual machine:

dfyz          soft    nofile            1000000
dfyz          hard    nofile            1000000
* soft core 0
* hard core unlimited
* soft memlock unlimited
* hard memlock unlimited

And I need this in a Docker container. But if I just copy this file to container's /etc/security/limits.conf it doesn't work.

How to set these limits into a Docker container?
