increase limits

increase of the limits to prevent the error ‘to many open files’

[vicanso]

Is it necessary to adjust it in the service configuration?

[adammakowskidev]

I think yes, or it can be done per server.
In the case of nginx, when the limit is reached, it drops new connections

https://serverfault.com/questions/1003364/nginx-500-24-too-many-open-files
"Your nginx server is not keeping up with the number of requests arriving. More precisely it lacks available file descriptors to open connections to the upstream."

With Pingap it is the same when testing the server under heavy load, I have had this error before.

[vicanso]

It is not recommended to set it directly in the pingap.service provided by pingap.

[adammakowskidev]

Any reason for this? I have this set up and Pingap works without problems

[vicanso]

Most people use the default configuration,LimitNOFILE=1048576 is too large.
