How to calculate pm.max_children for Espo?

[AlexiLaiho]

My server is down, after some troubleshooting I found a line in espocrm docker container logs:

WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (5), consider raising it

Why the default value is so low and to what number it is recommended to increase it? For reference, we are very small company (5-10 users) and we have very low activity footprint, no more than 2-3 simultaneous users. Server is on DO, 2GB RAM.

Hi AlexiLaiho,

This parameter depends on your server and PHP configurations.

If you installed EspoCRM using a script, you can change this parameter using the following instructions: https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...p-fpm-settings.

I know how to change the parameter; I asked what value is recommended.

"This parameter depends on your server and PHP configurations." is not a good answer. Could you please elaborate?

I would set the value to 10-15: I would start with 10 and monitor the processes for some time, and if there were no problems, I would leave them at this value.
