I had a look at quite cheap Strato VPSs and wanted to collect a few tips.

Too low task limit

I received strange errors, which seemed random to me. They were all related with thread resources, which are temporarily not available. Luckily, a guy on stackoverflow pointed out the issue, which is a too low limit for threads.

To increase the limit, you have to edit the file /etc/systemd/system.conf and increase the value of DefaultTasksMax (e.g. to 1000).
