Limit memory usage for a single Linux process

Limiting memory consumtion

$ systemd-run --scope --user -p MemoryLimit=6G -p MemorySwapMax=0 firefox %u

• Firefox Sandboxing Guide
  • Not all sandboxes are equal. For example: Firejail does not allow to write outside Downloads. Sandbox does not prevent such writing. - SO
• Limit the memory size used by the jailed process #593 - ulimit + firejail or firejail --cgroups
  • ulimit vs cgroup - the mechanisms are generally not redundant: - cgroup sets limits per groups of processes
    • setrlimit sets limits per user or per process (ulimit is a wrapper arrount setrlimit)
