Known issues

Error initiating bootstrap ... Too many open files

This issue has been seen on some versions of macOS and Linux. The node will detect when the file descriptor limit is considered too low and log a warning similar to:

WARNING: The file descriptor limit on this system may be too low (512) 
and should be increased to at least 16384.

To resolve this on Linux increase max open files limit by editing /etc/security/limits.conf and adding or updating:

    *               soft    nofile          65535    
    *               hard    nofile          65535    
    root            soft    nofile          65535    
    root            hard    nofile          65535    

Then restart session & cga_node service. Check changes with ulimit -n.

For macOS the version impacts the steps necessary, but some people had success with the recipe in https://superuser.com/a/1171028.
