Doing some at home testing of the Ignition docker setup brought in 8.1.x. I launched an 8.1.9 instance and attempted to start a Perspective session. It keeps saying too many clients are currently connected. According to the gateway the only clients are my designer and my browser window that is saying there are too many clients.

I can usually have a browser window and designer session open at the same time when operating a similar setup from a VM. Is the docker doing something funny that I’m not aware of?

Hi,  
You need to specify in the gateway, what kind of visualization you want to use [Edge Panel - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Edge+Panel)  
look at visualization mode.

This gets me more often than I’d like to admit.
