How much value should I set to resolve the Too many open files error on Nginx?

I run wordpress websites on Nginx server (v 1.21.6).

And recently i saw error like below.

2022/03/07 19:43:41 [crit] 563445#563445: accept4() failed (24: Too many open files)
2022/03/07 19:43:42 [crit] 563445#563445: accept4() failed (24: Too many open files)

I restart Nginx, website access works fine.

And then, I googled to solve this problem, a lot of tutorials and values came up that confused me.

My system info

ulimit -Hn
1048576
ulimit -Sn
1024

core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 7581
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 65536
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 1024
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 7581
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited

Then i added the following values to /etc/sysctl.conf.

fs.file-max = 70000

Did this solve all my problems?

If that's not the case, I'd love to hear some advice on whether I should add another setting.

Thank you.

I added the following values to /etc/sysctl.conf.

fs.file-max = 70000

The sysctl command is used to modify kernel parameters at runtime. It can take a single parameter as an argument i.e. sysctl fs.file-max to read the current value of a parameter or for example sysctl fs.file-max=98036 to set that value , or with sysctl -p /path/to/file read parameters from a file.

The file /etc/sysctl.conf (and some others) is the default preload/configuration file for kernel parameters.

Simply changing that file does not effect any change.

You will need to either reboot or run [sudo] sysctl --system to apply the changed settings there.

The ulimit command gets/sets the resource limits that the kernel enforces, for a particular user or process.

Although you can set resource limits with ulimit that are "unlimited" or seemingly more realistic, but that still have a value that exceeds the associated kernel parameter, doing so won't make that happen.

The system has finite resources and when there is such a kernel parameter, that will be the upper limit available.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
