Hmm, have you tried taking some steps to mitigate the issue like described here? https://stackoverflow.com/a/61462257

Out of curiosity, how many files are you managing with spis?

[jotka]

a couple of thousand with subfolders.

it's really hard to set the sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 in the restarting container :)

[gbbirkisson]

Have you tried with docker run --sysctl .........?
