+This is warning of some default settings that could impact the performance of your Solr instance. They are unlikely to cause problems if you are only using Solr for testing/development, but they should be addressed in production environments.
+The best way to address the errors on Linux platforms using systemd is to start Solr through systemd and ensure that your [[#linux_systemd_method|systemd configuration]] contains appropriate limit values. The [[#linux_systemd_method|systemd example below]] includes appropriate settings to prevent limit warnings.
+On some Linux platforms, if systemd is not available, the problem can be addressed by editing the /etc/security/limits.conf file and adding these lines:

 It may be necessary to log out of your terminal session and log back in for these settings to take effect.
-On Linux platforms using systemd, you may be able to work around the problem with a systemd file like this example (in a file like /etc/systemd/system/vufind.service):
-<code>
-[Unit]
-Description=VuFind Starter
-After=network.target
-[Service]
-Type=forking
-ExecStart=/bin/sh -l -c '/usr/local/vufind/solr.sh start' -x
-PIDFile=/usr/local/vufind/solr/vendor/bin/solr-8983.pid
-User=vufind-user
-ExecStop=/bin/sh -l -c "/usr/local/vufind/solr.sh stop" -x
-SuccessExitStatus=0
-LimitNOFILE=65000
-LimitNPROC=65000
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-</code>
-(Obviously the /usr/local/vufind path and the vufind-user username should be customized to reflect your local needs).
-Once this is in place, you can use "sudo service vufind start" and "sudo service vufind stop" to start and stop the process, and appropriate limits will be applied.
