/proc/sys/fs/file-max is always reset

Immediately after a reboot, the contents of the /proc/sys/fs/file-max file are reset. I do not know how to make this value sustainable. It is possible that the constant is set elsewhere, but I cannot understand where.

sysctl -p was executed.

What conf file should be setting the value and what is its contents?

I do not have such a file in the /etc/sysctl.d directory. How to configure it for my case?

Read the sysctl.conf man page.
