The issue is not Netdata specific. When setting +the `nofile` ulimit, the task performs normally. + +To fix the issue, add the following to the `/etc/docker/daemon.json` file and restart `docker.service`: + +```json +{ + "default-ulimits": { + "nofile": { + "Hard": 4096, + "Name": "nofile", + "Soft": 4096 + } + } +} +``` + +An alternative solution is to set ulimit `nofile` when creating a Netdata container +with [docker run](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#set-ulimits-in-container---ulimit) +or [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#ulimits). + +</details> + You can create a new Agent container using either `docker run` or Docker Compose. After using either method, you can visit the Agent dashboard `http://NODE:19999`. |
