As the title says. I’m unable to find correct instructions to increase file upload limit of my Discourse installation. This is what I know…

My Discourse installation is hosted on a droplet at Digital Ocean, utilizing the one-click installation. I suspect that this is the reason I don’t see some of what is mentioned in the instructions regarding this setting change.

I’ve also seen it mentioned that increasing the upload limit that it is simply a “parameter” now… Since I’m still new to Discourse, “parameter” means nothing to me. I gather that I’m supposed to add a line to the web.template.yml file, however, I cannot locate this file.

I’m sure many of you are smacking your head as you read my question, but as much searching as I’ve done in here, I have yet to find some of this info.

Thanks in advance for any help that you’re willing to offer!
