First ever instance crash. Suggestions for avoiding this in the future?

I had my first-ever server crash of https://my-place.social. This is in syslog:

show variables like 'max_connections'; shows 151 max_connections.

I did: SET GLOBAL max_connections = 200;

I also edited /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf and set max_connections = 200

Is this too high? Too low? Did I do this the correct way?

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! I just bumped it to 400. That's 4 times more than the default.

I hope 400 isn't exceeding some limit. I hope I did this correctly. 🥴

@Jerry on Friendica Looks okay, but I would take a number that follows the *2 path, e.g. 512 or 256.
