Problem's description

Describe your problem here

I deployed a docker stack with your /2.12.2/docker-compose.yml using the instructions from https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org/13.Docker-documentation/Using-the-docker-image/ chapter "OCS Inventory image with Mariadb and Proxy (using docker-compose)"

git clone https://github.com/OCSInventory-NG/OCSInventory-Docker-Image cd 2.12.2/ docker compose up -d

the only modification I made to docker-compose.yml was to enable HTTPS:

The docker stack is running well. Only the upload of files is not working.

I tried to build a deployment package from an MSI using /ocsreports/index.php?function=tele_build but when I click on the "Validate" button I always get the error

413 Request Entity Too Large nginx/1.27.0

although the MSI file I tried to deploy is only 1.87MB in size.

I found out that Docker Image 2.12.2 has two issues:

Docker Image 2.12.2 uses PHP 8.1.2 but in /conf/ocsinventory-reports.conf PHP tuning is only set for PHP5 + PHP7. So I added for PHP8:

    # Duplicate for php8 compatibility
    <IfModule mod_php.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        php_flag file_uploads           on
        # Some PHP tuning for deployment feature up to 8 MB
        # post_max_size must be greater than upload_max_filesize
        # because of HTTP headers
        php_value post_max_size         1025m
        php_value upload_max_filesize   1024m
        # You may have to uncomment following on errors
        php_value max_execution_time -1
        php_value max_input_time -1

        # Uncomment following if you need to specify a mysql socket
        #php_value mysql.default_socket "path/to/mysql/unix/socket"

        #!! Mandatory !! : set magic_quotes_gpc to off (to make ocsreports works correctly)
        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc      off
    </IfModule>

Nginx settings for timeouts and client_max_body_size are only applied to URL /download. But for upload of installers this is also needed for URL /ocsreports

I modified /nginx/conf/ocsinventory.conf.template accordingly:

diff --git a/2.12.2/nginx/conf/ocsinventory.conf.template b/2.12.2/nginx/conf/ocsinventory.conf.template

     }

With these modification the package building for the MSI file I tried to deploy first, and which is only 1.87MB in size, works.

But for larger installers I still got issues. I tried to build a package with about 400MB in size. The upload for this file starts but then the process does not complete and I get an empty web page with no error message. In /download/ a subdirectory for this package is created but the directory is empty.
