How to Update Upload Size on Digitalocean App Platform?

5 minutes read

To update the upload size on DigitalOcean App Platform, you can modify the client_max_body_size value within the NGINX configuration. You need to create a .platform/nginx directory in your app's code repository and create a http.include file inside it. Within this file, add the following configuration:

1
client_max_body_size 25M;


Replace the 25M with the desired upload size limit. After making this change, commit and push the changes to your repository. Then, redeploy the app on the DigitalOcean App Platform to apply the new upload size limit.


What is the process for adjusting upload size limits on DigitalOcean App Platform?

To adjust upload size limits on DigitalOcean App Platform, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your DigitalOcean account.
  2. Go to the App Platform section in the DigitalOcean dashboard.
  3. Select the app for which you want to adjust the upload size limit.
  4. Click on the "Settings" tab.
  5. Scroll down to the "Environment Variables" section.
  6. Add a new environment variable with the name "MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE" and set its value to the desired upload size limit in bytes. For example, if you want to set the upload size limit to 100MB, you would set the value to 104857600 (100 * 1024 * 1024).
  7. Save the changes and redeploy your app for the new upload size limit to take effect.


By following these steps, you can adjust the upload size limits on the DigitalOcean App Platform to meet your specific requirements.


How to set custom upload size limit on DigitalOcean App Platform?

As of now, DigitalOcean App Platform does not provide a built-in feature to set custom upload size limits for applications. However, you can implement this functionality within your application code. Here's a general outline of how you can achieve this:

  1. Implement a middleware or function in your application that checks the size of the incoming request payload (e.g., uploaded files) before processing it further.
  2. Set a maximum file size limit that you want to enforce for uploads in your application. You can define this limit as a constant or configuration parameter in your code.
  3. If the incoming request payload exceeds the defined limit, reject the upload request and return an appropriate error response to the user.
  4. You can also provide feedback to the user about the maximum allowed file size and how they can optimize their uploads to meet the requirements.


By implementing these steps in your application code, you can effectively set a custom upload size limit for your DigitalOcean App Platform application.


How to recover from exceeding the upload size limit on DigitalOcean App Platform?

If you have exceeded the upload size limit on DigitalOcean App Platform, you can try the following steps to recover:

  1. Reduce the size of the file: If possible, try to reduce the size of the file that you are trying to upload. You can do this by compressing the file or removing any unnecessary data.
  2. Split the file into smaller parts: If the file is too large to upload in one go, you can split it into smaller parts and upload them one at a time.
  3. Use a different file format: Some file formats are more efficient and take up less space than others. Try converting the file to a different format that is more compressed.
  4. Check the upload limit settings: Make sure you are not exceeding the upload limit set by DigitalOcean App Platform. You can check the settings in your account dashboard and adjust them if necessary.
  5. Contact DigitalOcean support: If none of the above steps work, you can contact DigitalOcean support for assistance. They may be able to help you resolve the issue or provide alternative solutions.


By following these steps, you should be able to recover from exceeding the upload size limit on DigitalOcean App Platform and successfully upload your files.
