Docker: nextcloud:fpm Request Entity Too Large

[l0calh05t]

I am running a docker-compose setup using nextcloud:fpm, nginx, nginx-proxy and docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion (based on the example in .example, but without a non-sqlite db, redis or collabora). This works for the most part, however I cannot upload files larger than 2MB. According to #32 docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion can cause this, but adding a client_max_body_size setting to the default or VIRTUAL_HOST-specific vhost.d files has no effect.

Could this be caused by the fast_cgi in the fpm module? I tried adding fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "upload_max_filesize = 4000M \n post_max_size=4000M"; to the server config but this doesn't appear to have any effect either.

Seems like your proxy setting was fine, but the error is in the image: #97

Using docker-compose there should be some way to overwrite the conf files but trying nearly everything I am still unable to make it work. Does anyone have a hint?

Seems like the error is coming from the nginx proxy.

Please try to add

client_max_body_size 10G;

to the end of _proxy/vhost.d/default_

Restart the proxy and try to upload a > 2MB file.

I have the same issue. It works if I add the client_max_body_size 1G; to proxy/vhost.d/default. But this file is eresased/templated if I restart the letsencrypt-companion container. Don't know where I can put some extra config for it nginx or letsencrypt container.

Hmm, this is strange.
I have updated everything, restarted all instances and even rebooted.
My entry is still there.

[l00ptr]

did you restart your letsencrypt-companion container?

Restarting it in my case always overwritte the default file

 % sudo cat default    
## Start of configuration add by letsencrypt contain
location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    try_files $uri =404;
    break;
}
client_max_body_size 1G;
## End of configuration add by letsencrypt container


 % sudo docker restart letsencrypt-companion
letsencrypt-companion



 % sudo cat default 
## Start of configuration add by letsencrypt container
location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    try_files $uri =404;
    break;
}
## End of configuration add by letsencrypt container

I had the same issue and resolved it via creating a my.conf in proxy/conf.d with the following content:
client_max_body_size 10G;

[l00ptr]

Thx @pr4xx that's almost what I did after reading the nginx docker documentation :)

@l00ptr You have to add the line from @bang-uin after the last comment about letsenscrypt otherwise it will be overwritten.

## Start of configuration add by letsencrypt contain
location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    try_files $uri =404;
    break;
}
## End of configuration add by letsencrypt container

client_max_body_size 10G;

You don't have to edit the default.conf. Just add another file with any name containing just the line @pr4xx posted.

uploadsize.conf:

client_max_body_size 10G;

I usally do this by mounting the extra file in docker-compose:

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'

volumes:
  conf.d:
  vhost.d:
  html:
  certs:


services:
  proxy:
    image: jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:

      - vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d
      - html:/usr/share/nginx/html
      - certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
      - ./uploadsize.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/uploadsize.conf:ro
    networks:
      - proxy-tier
    restart: always
    labels:

  letsencrypt:
