Try to modify HTTP_MB_LIMIT to increase file size limit but no luck

[smatmscare]

According to https://docs.budibase.com/docs/hosting-settings
I added HTTP_MB_LIMIT=200 to my hosting.properties to increase the default 20M upload limit
I did "docker-compose --env-file hosting.properties up -d" to apply the change
but it seems not working.
I even tried to add "HTTP_MB_LIMIT: 200" to docker-compose.yaml, but that does not work either
anyone has luck changing the default file size limit before? really appreciate your help!

Hi @smatmscare

Have you tried putting that variable in your .env file? It's a hidden file located in the same folder as your docker-compose file.

[smatmscare]

thanks for the reply, I only have docker-compose.yaml; envoy.yaml and hosting.properties there, can not find hidden .env file.

You could try adding a .env file with that setting and then trying a docker-compose down and docker-compose up

What version of Budibase are you running? I wouldn't expect to see anything related to envoy.

I upgraded Budibase to 2.6.2 and added .env, but seems not help, here is the .env file

# Use the main port in the builder for your self hosting URL, e.g. localhost:10000

Firstly, I am a Docker novice. Recently, a NFP (not for profit) organization got their hands on a Synology NAS. I tried to use the following commands to create a Budibase container:

docker run -d --name=budibase2
-p 10000:80
-e HTTP_MB_LIMIT=1000
-v /volume1/docker/budibase2/data:/data
-v /volume1/docker/budibase2/db:/opt/couchdb/data
--restart always
budibase/budibase

With the above, I am still unable to upload attachments greater than 20MB.

I referred to the documentation: https://docs.budibase.com/docs/hosting-settings

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. The NFP requires to upload video files as part of their attachments in their forms.

Hey @rthien @smatmscare

There is more work needed around this: #8372

The HTTP limit does not apply to file sizes.
