I am trying to make sysctl changes stick after reboot, specifically sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=1024 (I have too many docker containers and Git repos apparently).

• I tried adding it to /boot/config/go but that didn't work.

• I also tried creating /boot/config/sysctl.conf and adding it there.

Not sure what else to do? Appreciate any help.

uer script plugin at frist arry boot

sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=1024



What I Run:

#!/bin/bash

# Delay before starting
sleep 10

# Apply sysctl settings
apply_sysctl_settings() {

echo "Applying sysctl settings..."
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra=2
#sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen=64

echo "Verifying sysctl settings..."
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra
#sysctl net.ipv6.conf.br0.accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen

}

#run loop
apply_sysctl_settings

for ipv6 forwarding to ha docker..

That worked! Thank you. Out of curiosity, why did you put the commands in a function?

I wonder why it adding that to the go file didn't do the trick.
