I tried to set my upload limit to 1gb because i want to host a few long videos from the staff team. I already followed the tutorial but i still get the error. I modified and added the new limit in app.yml and in the settings in-app and rebuilt. Anybody has a fix?

I don’t have any kind tech suggestion but an UX suggestion I have: don’t do that. Discourse is not a streaming service and with that you are just overloading bandwidth and storages of devices.

Thanks you for the suggestion, but i have resources and i will not upload too many videos. Now i get the error for a 150mb video.

Anybody has a solution to this?

I tried to upload an 18MB file with a configured limit of 1000 MB (also tried 999 and 500), and got the following error: [image] Last time I checked, 18 MB are way less than 1000 :slight_smile:

Oh wow, this is entirely unexpected. Thank you for pointing out the solution. (I didn’t try it yet, but I can’t see another issue.) Indeed, it works. All you need is to pass the correct parameter in the configuration file to update the maximum file upload size: params: ## Maximum upload size (default: 10m) upload_size: 20m

i followed the tutorial, but always get the message “is greater than the max allowed 1000 MB” at max attachment size. yup, changes at app.yaml , rebuild. still the same so in this case was experimenting to insert 2GB file upload.

it is no longer necessary to increase the limit in the nginx config too?
