It was in my to do list as well. I recall I ran tests without increasing
limits.
Which test requires 50000 open files? Maybe the one currently disabled?
Also, it does not like a good pattern to open so many files. If we really
use as many files, shouldn't we revisit that area?
The issue is that HAProxy attempts to increase the soft ulimit to the
hard ulimit during startup. This fails on macOS which has a soft limit
of ~10k and a hard limit of ~500k, but does not allow to actually
increase the soft limit without being root.
That's why I'm updating the ulimit manually before starting HAProxy.
This will update both the soft as well as the hard limit, resulting in
HAProxy not needing to do anything, thus succeeding on macOS.
I surely could've used an even smaller number, but 5k is something that
worked just fine on my first attempt, so that one it is. In fact the
limit I set is even lower than the default of macOS.
