FATAL: sorry, too many clients already

Environment

• Python version: 3.8.5
• Nautobot version: 1.0.0b2

Steps to Reproduce

1. invoke debug
2. Add some data using nautobot-ansible (pynautobot) - running on localhost

Questions:

• How to increase the number of allowed clients?
• How to check if everything is processed before sending a new request?

I think this would be valuable to have in the developer documentation in a “troubleshooting” section.

Hello @jathanism

I’m using the docker development environment with default docker-compose files.

After a research I think I could find a solution by adding the --nothreading parameter to runserver command.

I have done few successful imports that had always lead to a traceback after changing the command.

File development/docker-compose.override.yml:

---
version: "3"
services:
  nautobot:
    command: "nautobot-server runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure --nothreading"

Ahhh I should have caught that when you said you did invoke debug.

If you’re trying to do any legit data or performance testing, you might start bumping into issues like this with runserver since it’s not the most performant.
