Is it possible to configure openfiles limit for docker containers ?

Issue

From the docker host is possible to see that the open files limit is set to 1024.

[root@localhost ~]# ulimit -a | grep open
open files                      (-n) 1024

But the docker container has this limit set to 1048576

[root@e86ee2f0f6a0 /]# ulimit -a | grep open
open files                      (-n) 1048576

Is it possible to change this value for the docker containers ?
