Upload Document error 413

Hello everyone,

We have an Appwrite application behind an Nginx reverse proxy (setup based on @Steven guide ). We're encountering a 413 error when attempting to upload a 2MB file via a function. The _APP_STORAGE_LIMIT is set to 30000000, and client_max_body_size is set to 30M in both the server and location sections of the Nginx proxy hosts configuration.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any useful logs from either Appwrite or Nginx. Could anyone suggest what might be causing this issue or how to enable more detailed logging to diagnose the problem? We are using Nginx version openresty/1.21.4.3 and Appwrite version 1.5.4.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

You could try adding below in you server block -

server {
  client_max_body_size 10M;

  // other configuration here...
}

@darShan Yes, I have done that and unfortunately, it still doesn't work. 😦

my bad, i missed that in your post. can you print the env vars via docker? what does it show?

Any specific vars you are looking for? Don't want to copy paste sensitive information.

_APP_FUNCTIONS_SIZE_LIMIT=30000000

Those vars are loaded correctly

Edit: Files that are under 1MB have no problem with upload Edit n.2: I can upload 20MB file to storage directly

What do you mean you can upload directly?

I'm leaning towards something being wrong with your nginx config. This is an nginx error.

By uploading to storage directly I meant that I can go to Console -> Project -> Storage -> Create new file -> upload 20MB image. But with Node.js function I can't go over 1MB.

Regarding the configuration of Nxing, I followed the official docs of Nginx proxy manager, edited proxy host via advanced tab in web gui, edited the proxy conf outside the container and even went to the container itself to edit nginx.conf. Unfortunetly non of that worked

What's the difference between nodejs function and the console. Is both through nginx?

It should be, yeah. Console is on the same domain as api requests go and since the domain is the one i have configured in nginx, they should both go through nginx.

I don't recommend editing the file directly. Reading it to check what the config looks like is fine, but you should use the advanced config in NPM. Please share details of what you have configured.

At first I tried to edit advanced options like in the picture. This wasn´t working so i tried to edit the /data/nginx/custom/server_proxy.conf (with client_max_body_size 30M line ) which is included at the end of this configuration file stored in /data/nginx/proxy_host

map $scheme $hsts_header {
    https   "max-age=63072000; preload";
}

server {
  set $forward_scheme https;
  set $server         "appwrite-traefik";
  set $port           443;

  listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;


  server_name appwrite.example.com;

    # Proxy!
    include conf.d/include/proxy.conf;
  }


  # Custom
  include /data/nginx/custom/server_proxy[.]conf;
}

This unfortunetly didn't work either so i removed the server_proxy.conf and pasted the client_max_body_size 30M both in server block and location / block of this config file.

When even this didn´t do it, I tried to edit the nginx.conf inside the container again with client_max_body_size 30M, but already reverted this edit.

And what's your function code?
