similar questions on this site did not have a solution for me. I'm developing a web app with symfony, and tried to start a local server, which resulted in a warning and didn't start anything
che6yp@aspire:~/Projects/hometowns_api$ symfony server:start
WARNING Web Server log file cannot be tailed: unable to watch log file: no space left on device
no space left on device
I have done this a lot before and never had this problem until recently. One time I closed my Chrome and it helped, but it doesn't help anymore. It seems to me like there is a lot of space left!

cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches. If the value is somewhere around 8192, consider (temporarily) bumping it up a bit with:echo "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.
