+### Too many open files
+- On a fresh Linux install the default open file limit is low; under load `telemt` may fail with `Accept error: Too many open files`
+- **Systemd**: add `LimitNOFILE=65536` to the `[Service]` section (already included in the example above)
+- **Docker**: add `--ulimit nofile=65536:65536` to your `docker run` command, or in `docker-compose.yml`:
+```yaml
+ulimits:
+  nofile:
+    soft: 65536
+    hard: 65536
+```
+- **System-wide** (optional): add to `/etc/security/limits.conf`:
+```
+*       soft    nofile  1048576
+*       hard    nofile  1048576
