What
Adds a "Raise system limits" section to the Docker deployment guide, documenting how to raise the two per-process OS limits QuestDB needs when running in a container: open files (
ulimit -n) and memory-mapped areas (vm.max_map_count).Why
On Docker, host
ulimitsettings do not propagate into the container, so a fresh container can log the warning reported in #370:The Docker guide did not cover how to fix this, and the capacity planning guide only documents the systemd /
limits.confpath, not the container one. This section fills that gap:docker run --ulimit nofile=1048576:1048576, the Docker Composeulimitsequivalent, anddefault-ulimitsin/etc/docker/daemon.jsonas a global alternative.sysctl, since it is a host kernel setting shared with the container. This is the sibling limit QuestDB checks at startup, so I documented both together to match the startup check.All values use the officially recommended
1048576from the capacity planning guide, which the new section links to.Closes #370
