[Mayan EDMS: 1557] Where do I adjust the size limit on uploads

[Mark Phillips]

I tried, as the default admin user, to upload a tiff file as a new
document. I had a document type of Picture defined. I got an error that the
image is too big. Please see the attached screen shot, as the error is a
little weird in its presentation.

Where do I change the size limit on file uploads?

Thanks,

Mark

Since you seem to run behind nginx consider increasing

client_max_body_size

in your nginx configuration.

You might also have to adjust the corresponding setting in your wsgi (e.g.
uwsgi) config.

This is the NGINX configuration file used in the Mayan Docker image. The
max file size is set to 50 megabytes and the max upload wait time is 30
seconds. Both can be increased by any amount.

listen 80;

location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/mayan.sock;

client_max_body_size 50M; # Increase if your plan to upload bigger
documents
proxy_read_timeout 30s; # Increase if your document uploads take
more than 30 seconds

Robert,
I cannot find where the Docker location is for the php.ini file. We run
NGINX and are hosted on Digital Ocean. Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

There is no php.ini in Mayan, as it is a Python project all files end in
.py.

To increase the file upload limits change the NGINX file as mentioned
above. Inside a container this file is located in
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mayan-edms
If you wish to build a customized image, the NGINX file path is
/etc/nginx/mayan-edms in the Docker image source files
(https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms-docker).

Roberto,
Apologize for asking this. Feels like I'm beating a dead horse, but I used
the docker install method and I cannot even find the NGINX folder at all.

I have navigated to /etc with no NGINX folder available.

[Roberto Rosario]

Go inside the running container with:

docker exec -ti mayan-edms /bin/bash

This executes a bash shell inside the container. The command prompt should
display something like this:

***@9210b0c7f945:/#

Now do a:

cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mayan-edms

You should see the file contents.

There are no editors included in the container to cut size. To edit the
file you need to install one using:

apt-get update && apt-get install vim -y

Afterwards use vi /etc/nginx/site-enabled/mayan-edms

Enter insert mode pressing the key <a>.
Make the changes.
Increase client_max_body_size (It's set at 500M = 500 megabytes).
Increase proxy_read_timeout (maximum time an upload can take before it
timesout. It's set at 600s = 600 seconds = 10 minutes).
Leave insert mode pressing <ESC>
Save pressing <:> and then <w>
Exit the editor using <:> and then <q>

Restart the NGINX server using:

supervisorctl restart nginx

I'll check if NGINX supports environment variables, and make these settings
configurable at runtime without having to edit this file.
This is not directly related to Mayan and therefore lower in the priority
schedule, so it can take a while.

Thank you sir for the response. I'll test in then morning. I'm sure it
will function as expected!
