change UI upload size limit

[IsidoreIsou]

Hello everyone,

What would be the right way on a YunoHost install of Funkwhale to change the size limit when uploading a music file from the UI ? Now it's 32MB.

Thanks!

I've tried to nano this file:

funkwhale_ynh/conf/nginx.conf

and to edit this line:

client_max_body_size 30M; to put a higher value,

but it doesn't work. Help!

[IsidoreIsou]

Solved, here is the file to edit:

/etc/nginx/conf.d/yourdomain.d/funkwhale.conf

please remember your change will be erased at each update of the funkwhale package

@EliotBerriot : do you think using a higher value is safe? does it makes sense to you?

We could probably increase this, the main risk is having user accidentally (or voluntarily in case of an attack) exhausting the server resources by uploading large files. Setting a higher limit (let's say 100MB) will not break anything, it's just a tradeof to consider between security/stability and functionality.

That being said, I'd probably increase the default limit to 50 or 100MB in our sample files because we've got plenty of support tickets and questions about this :)

OK thanks. I prefer you changing the default and me following your suggestion. So the user experience is consistent.

I created a ticket for that: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/issues/654

OK, I see it is now upstream, I will update it to 100 MB

:ok_hand: @Jibec, sorry, I forgot to ping you back once it was done!
