413 Request Entity Too Large #532

Closed 001101 closed 7 years ago

hello,

using this with cozycloud.cc account and got a 413 Request Entity Too Large on files which are only 3,8GB big.

Uploading admin.2017-02-14.tar [=================-------------] 57% 346.8s

[2017-02-19 11:46:39:736] error - Synchronize    | Error: Parsing error : Unexpected token <, body=

i have no clue about nodejs, but it looks like a module error.

how could it be resolved?

greets

Hello, thanks for the report!

I believe this is an issue on the cozy side, not really related to the desktop client. I don't know whether it's possible to configure the Cozy web server to handle larger uploads...

@clochix WDYT?

sebn commented 7 years ago

Hello again,

I got the confirmation: the maximum upload size is limited to 2Go for all the cozycloud.cc instances, and it's not possible to change it per user.

So the only workarounds I can think of are:

  1. synchronize the extracted files and folders instead of the archive
  2. split it into multiple archives
  3. self-hosting

I'm sorry I can't come up with a better solution.

sebn commented 7 years ago

Looks like the limitation could be on the node side. So workaround 3 (self-hosting) could actually not be relevant.

There could also be a limitation on the database side (in CouchDB).

thank you very much for your fast answer and effort to find a solution!

i have splited now the backup in 1.5GB files and this works, so it can be closed.

would be nice if this limitation is somewhere in cozycloud as a status page or just a simple information for users on their homepage.

sebn commented 7 years ago

I'm glad everything is working again.

Regarding the limitation, it may not exist anymore in Cozy v3. In case it still exists, we should definitely provide some user-friendly notification when adding a file that is too big to the local Cozy folder.

Thank you for your feedback!
