Hi,

I am using a custom kubernetes based on talos (bare-metal kubernetes deployment).

by default the file watchers limit is 128.

I am trying to run this container with a full stateless design (media files in a minio cluster) to improve scaling and release management.

I am stating the container with config "reloadOnChange:false" in the appsettings config :

builder.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", false, false)
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.Development.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: false)
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.local.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: false)
    .AddEnvironmentVariables();

but since there is a InMemoryFactory constructor :

// BEWARE! if the watcher is not properly released then for some reason the
            // BuildManager will start confusing types - using a 'registered object' here
            // though we should probably plug into Umbraco's MainDom - which is internal
            _hostingLifetime.RegisterObject(this);
            _watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(_pureLiveDirectory.Value);
            _watcher.Changed += WatcherOnChanged;
            _watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

in :

namespace Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common.ModelsBuilder
{
    internal class InMemoryModelFactory : IAutoPublishedModelFactory, IRegisteredObject, IDisposable

the pods starts and crash with error :

System.InvalidOperationException: The exception handler configured on ExceptionHandlerOptions produced a 404 status response. This InvalidOperationException containing the original exception was thrown since this is often due to a misconfigured ExceptionHandlingPath. If the exception handler is expected to return 404 status responses then set AllowStatusCode404Response to true.
 ---> System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (128) on the number of inotify instances has been reached, or the per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.

Is it possible to override this configuration ?

Regards, and thanks for your help !
