Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch '/home/joey/Desktop/Reactwa/react-complete-guide/public' code example

Example 1: Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
# that modifies the file watch limit to max 524,288 which consume approx. 512MB Ram for 64bit.
# reduce that number to consume less memory.

# to see if that did it run
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

# you should see
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

Example 2: ENOSPC

# this limit will revert after reset
sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
sudo sysctl -p
# now restart the server and see if it works
