Need global custom variable for client_max_body_size like custom.ini for php

[demyxco]

Increasing upload limits for custom.ini does nothing when .conf from nginx/nginx-proxy hinders it. Duplicate error appears when adding client_max_body_size to user.conf and WordPress throws a 413 error when uploading a file that's over 100mb.

What I've tried but didn't work:

• Modified client_max_body_size in /var/lib/docker/volumes/domaintld_config_nginx/_data/nginx.conf && ee site reload domain.tld
• Modified client_max_body_size in /var/lib/docker/volumes/domaintld_config_nginx/_data/conf.d/main.conf && ee site reload domain.tld
• Modified client_max_body_size in services_global-nginx-proxy_1:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf && ee service reload nginx-proxy

# Custom PHP settings

upload_max_filesize = 1G
post_max_size = 1G

Also had the same issue and found out that the best way to solve this is creating a new docker image and using this one instead. https://hub.docker.com/r/lukeshard/nginx-proxy

@lucasff wow, I completely forgot I submitted an issue here a year ago and it's still open. I'm gonna close this because I left EE a long time ago and I wrote my own WordPress/Docker stack
