Filebrowser: Upload Large Files on Docker Image

[Annihil8ted]

Description
A clear and concise description of what the issue is about. What are you trying to do?

I am trying to upload large files (20mb) to the docker image of filebrowser. This is being run from rancher 2.2.

Expected behaviour
What did you expect to happen?
File to be uploaded.

What is happening instead?
Please, give full error messages and/or log.

I see a pop up that says 413 Request Entity Too Large nginx/1.15.6.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here. If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

It occurs to me that this might due to rancher's proxy but wanted to check to make sure FileBrowser can handle large files.

How to reproduce?
Tell us how to reproduce this issue. How can someone who is starting from scratch reproduce this behaviour as minimally as possible?

Run Rancher 2.2 and load filebrowser. Than load big file.

It was the Rancher proxy causing the issue. This is resolved now.

For anyone else with this problem, the nginx parameter that needs changing is client_max_body_size. Set it to zero to disable any limits on upload file size. Like so:

location / {
    client_max_body_size 0;
    proxy_pass http://backendserver:8080/;
}
