DeamonSet for setting inotify config in each nodein k8s

#!/bin/sh

# This script will be called in privileged mode on each node of the k8s cluster (with the help of a DeamonSet)
# This is where you should configure the node if you want to (for example change inotify values).
# Nothing guarantees that this script will not run multiple times, so please be sure to make the script idempotent.

# Gracefully handle the TERM signal sent when deleting the daemonset
trap 'exit' TERM

set -ex

# Configure inotify to be able to run a lot a containers on each node.
# By default each node can run a maximum of 128 files.
