I need to keep my remote machine from swapping (will not respond to ssh anymore). Therefore I set ulimit -Sv 300000; ulimit -Hv 300000. It is laborious to do this manually, so I want to set it permanently.

In Permanently set process limit it is suggested to set the parameter in etc/security/limits.conf.

However looking at the manpages http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/limits.conf.5.html

I can not find an entry for virtual memory.

How can I set the virtual memory limits for users permanently?

I am on Ubuntu Version="18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"

There must be a better way, but I put ulimit -v SIZE in .bash_profile.
