Inotify-User-Instances-Limit-Configurator-deb

Purpose: This repository centralizes system configuration files, specifically the 11-max-user-instances.conf file, and automates the release of a Debian package for software projects.

Configuration File

File: /etc/sysctl.d/11-max-user-instances.conf

The configuration file contains:

   fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192

• Purpose: This configuration file is used to set the maximum number of inotify user instances on a Linux system.

Debian Package Release

We've set up a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds and releases a Debian package when a semantic version tag is pushed to the repository. This allows for easy distribution and installation of your software on Debian-based systems.

Workflow Details

• Workflow File: .github/workflows/release.yml

• Trigger: The workflow is triggered by pushes with tags that start with 'v' (e.g., v1.0.0).

• Build and Release: The workflow performs the following steps:

  1. Checks out the code.
  2. Runs the build commands (you can customize this for your software).
  3. Creates a GitHub release with the Debian package as an asset.

Why This Workflow?

This workflow is beneficial for the following scenarios:

• System Configuration Management: You can maintain important system configuration files in version control, allowing for easy tracking and changes over time.

• Software Packaging: If you have software projects that need to be distributed as Debian packages, this workflow automates the build and release process, simplifying the installation for users on Debian-based systems.

• Version Control: Using semantic versioning and GitHub releases ensures transparency, making it easy for users to install specific software versions and track the project's history.

Example Use Cases

• Web Server Configuration: Manage configuration files for web servers, database servers, or other services deployed on Linux servers.

• Software Distribution: Automate the release of software as Debian packages for a more user-friendly installation experience.

• Collaboration: Collaborate with a team to collectively manage and maintain system configuration files.
