Description

Started to see this recently when I run it within docker. Code has been same forever and it used to work. Not really sure what has changed. Is there a workaround that I could use to get unblocked?

How we setup. .Build() is called only once

IConfiguration` configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                // needed for file watcher to work correctly.
                .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                .AddJsonFile(CommonConstants.SettingsFileName, optional: false, reloadOnChange: false)
                .AddEnvironmentVariables()
                .Build();

On start we end up with this exception below. Seems to point to something in UseMvc()

Application startup exception: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (128) on the number of inotify instances has been reached.
