Instead, modify the configuration file to add a LimitNOFILE line: If you're using systemd to launch the server the above won't work. So if NXRM is started using init.d there, edit /etc/pam.d/common-session and uncomment the following line ( remove the hash # and space at the beginning of the line): # session required pam_limits.soįor more information refer to your specific operating system documentation. On Ubuntu systems there is a caveat: Ubuntu ignores the /etc/security/nf file for processes started by init.d. Which essentially means that you will need to restart NXRM. This change will only take effect the next time the nexus process user opens a new session. To set the maximum number of open files for both soft and hard limits for the nexus user to 65536, add the following line to the /etc/security/nf file, where 'nexus' should be replaced with the user ID that is being used to run the repository manager: nexus - nofile 65536 On most Linux systems, persistent limits can be set for a particular user by editing the /etc/security/nf file. Make sure to increase the limit on the number of open files descriptors for the user running Nexus Repository Manager permanently to 65,536 or higher prior to starting. Running out of file descriptors can be disastrous and will most probably lead to data loss. NXRM3 will most likely want to consume more file handles than the per user default value allowed by your Linux or OSX operating system. As a security precaution, do not run Nexus Repository Manager 3 as the root user.
