Increasing the Upload File Size

[GoXLd]

Hi,

I am using Planka and really like its minimalism and ease of use, but I can’t change one parameter (because I don’t know where it is located).

I would like to modify the maximum upload file size. The issue is definitely not related to permissions, as smaller files upload without any problems. There is a network restriction on the maximum file size of 2GB (implemented via Nginx Proxy Manager).

Please help.

Hi! We solve this by setting a maximum body size limit at the Nginx level. Unfortunately, Planka doesn’t currently allow specifying this limit directly, but it definitely should. I’ll try to fix this after the v2 release.

Thank you for your answer,

grep -Rn "client_max_body_size" /etc/nginx/

Change all on 1024M

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:22:       client_max_body_size 1024M;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/planka.conf:14:    client_max_body_size 1024M;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/planka.conf:24:        client_max_body_size 1024M;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/planka.conf:42:        client_max_body_size 1024M;

systemctl restart nginx

And in works !

So Im trying to upload a 6MB file and I cant see it working with default settings. @meltyshev @GoXLd I see the network transfer happening but when it finishes the card shows nothing. Is there a planka settings somewhere or an original file limit for attachments?

[GoXLd]

Can you provide the container logs?

[muzzah]

There is nothing in the container logs. Im using docker compose setup and when I use the docker compose logs command I see nothing. Ive also exported the log directory to a mounted folder and its the same output

OK, in that case, answer in the thread. setting a maximum body size limit at the Nginx level
