How do you configure the maximum number of connections in nginx?

To configure the maximum connection limit for Nginx, you can adjust the settings in the Nginx configuration file.

1. Open the configuration file of Nginx (usually located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf).
2. gatherings or occurrences
3. occurrences
4. maximum number of connections allowed for a worker

I am tired and I want to go to bed.
Option: I am feeling exhausted and I am ready to hit the hay.

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

In the above example, set the maximum number of connections for each worker process to 1024. You can adjust this value based on the server’s configuration and load conditions.

1. Save and close the configuration file.
2. Refresh the nginx service using sudo systemctl reload.
3. Reload the nginx service using sudo.

Please note that this setting only restricts the maximum number of connections for each worker process, not the overall maximum number of connections for the entire Nginx server. Nginx can handle more connections by starting multiple worker processes, each with its own maximum connection limit.
