====== Change ulimits on unprivileged containers ======
If you get this error for example when starting lighttpd inside unpriv. cont.:

''Starting web server: lighttpd2018-04-05 13:42:53: (server.c.751) couldn't set 'max filedescriptors' Operation not permitted'' 

Add 

  lxc.prlimit.nofile: 8192 

to
///etc/pve/lxc/<vmid>.conf//
