linux修改ulimit永久,Ubuntu 16 永久修改ulimit中的max file open限制

If you are setting up nginx,chances are you will discover your worker_connections is at some low number, such as 1024.

You can’t increase this number unless you increase kernel limit as well.

First of all run cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max to discover your maximum limit.

abc@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

1048576

abc@ubuntu:~$ ulimit -n

1024

As you can see there’s plenty of space for improvement. Lets say I want my new ‘ulimit -n’ to read 131072.

abc@ubuntu:~$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

add

fs.file-max = 131072

run

sudo sysctl -p

edit

sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf

add

* soft nproc 131072

* hard nproc 131072

* soft nofile 131072

* hard nofile 131072

root soft nproc 131072

root hard nproc 131072

root soft nofile 131072

root hard nofile 131072

sudo nano /etc/pam.d/common-session

add

session required pam_limits.so

And that’s it. Log out and in and try ulimit -n

abc@ubuntu:~$ ulimit -n 131072

Now you can edit nginx as well

events {

worker_connections 131072;

use epoll;

multi_accept on;

}
