Introduce docs for increasing the max number of open files limit
|
Great! Thanks! |

Should we also describe how the open file limit can be increased in Linux through /etc/sysctl.conf (system wide limit)? And should we also mention about increasing ephemeral ip ports? |

I've got this for Fedora based Linux # increase system file descriptor limit
echo fs.file-max = 100000 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.conf
# increase ulimit ( < system file descriptor )
printf '* soft nofile 99999 \n* hard nofile 99999' | sudo tee /etc/security/limits.confAlso, need to reboot. For Debian based, I think you also need to enable PAM user limits. |
