Issue:
My n8n application crashed with an "ENFILE: file table overflow" error when starting up. The error occurs when n8n tries to load its node_modules, as the platform's file descriptor limit (ulimit nofile) appears to be insufficient for n8n's requirements.
Troubleshooting attempted:
- Restarted the application — same error
- Tried to redeploy — concerned about data loss
My instance details: - Application: n8n
- Region: us-west-1
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
