Upload Large Video

[Timelord]

Hey team.

I was wondering if there is a way to override the setting that stops me from uploading large (500+ MB) video clips to my site?

When attempting to upload, I am told that I should use a hosting service for these clips. However, that is not something I want to do. So back to the question, is there a way to override the hard limit?

Changing Max Attachment Size

If you are on managed hosting, you should contact your hosting provider to change this setting. The below instructions only apply if you self host your own instance of Discourse. Here is what you need to do to allow more than 10mb for attachments upload. Connect to your server via SSH cd /var/discourse/ nano containers/app.yml Scroll down where it says db_default_text_search_config under params Add upload_size: 20m below db_default_text_search_config params: db_defaul…

I am not sure that is the setting. I can upload large images without issue, but for video, a message pops up recommending to post on YouTube or the like.

I am remote right now, but I can get the exact error when I get home.

Here is the exact error.

The clip I am trying to upload is 800mb.

You must follow the guide linked above for it to work.

Really? Same setting in two different locations and both must set up with same size?

[Falco]

Yes, exactly that. Also worth saying that the description of the one visible in the admin UI mentions it the other one.

Is this solutions because of rails/docker/something else? Yeah, I don’t understand how things are working because I’m coming from WordPress/PHP-world

Well, my app.yml doesn’t have that option but it is just minor editing job, if I need bigger limits someday.
