jekyll 3.7.2 | Error:  Too many open files - Failed to initialize inotify: the user limit on the total number of inotify instances has been reached.
{code}

Probably, {{inotify}} is used in a way to monitor single files and not just directories but I don't know that and couldn't find a way to change how jekyll is using inotify.

I wouldn't suggest working around by setting a higher inotify limit but upgrading jekyll did not solve it and so far there are two options:
# disable watching files via {{--no-watch}}
# use polling instead of `inotify` via `--force_polling`
# try to reduce the set of files by adding excludes for (expected) static files
