unfortunately, this didn’t work for me. I added that line in my app.yml, did a rebuild and I still get an error when I did a test upload. Here is my file… ``` ## ## After making changes to this file, you MUST rebuild for any changes ## to take effect in your live Discourse instance: ## ## /var/discourse/launcher rebuild app ## ## Make sure to obey YAML syntax! You can use this site to help check: ## http://www.yamllint.com/ ## this is the all-in-one, standalone Discourse Docker container template # You may add rate limiting by uncommenting the web.ratelimited template. # Out of the box it allows 12 reqs a second per ip, and 100 per minute per ip # This is configurable by amending the params in this file templates: - "templates/postgres.template.yml" - "templates/redis.template.yml" - "templates/web.template.yml" - "templates/web.ratelimited.template.yml" ## Comment out the following lines if you wish to add Lets Encrypt for your Discourse install # - "templates/web.ssl.template.yml" # - "templates/web.letsencrypt.ssl.template.yml" ## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose? expose: - "80:80" # fwd host port 80 to container port 80 (http) - "443:443" # fwd host port 443 to container port 443 (https) (ssl ready) # If you want Discourse to share a port with another webserver like Apache or nginx, # see https://meta.discourse.org/t/17247 for instructions. # any extra arguments for Docker? # docker_args: params: db_default_text_search_config: "pg_catalog.english" upload_size: 30m ## Set db_shared_buffers to a max of 25% of the total memory. ## ## On 1GB installs set to 128MB (to leave room for other processes) ## on a 4GB instance you may raise to 1GB #db_shared_buffers: "256MB" # ## Set higher on large instances it defaults to 10MB, for a 3GB install 40MB is a good default ## this improves sorting performance, but adds memory usage per-connection #db_work_mem: "40MB" # ## Which Git revision should this container use?
