[DEPLOYMENT] Problem increasing upload size

[Kulturserver]

Describe the issue
Although we increased the uploadlimit serverwise, we aren't able to upload images or files larger than 2 MB via our open form installation

Deployment Environment

• OpnForm Version: latest
• Hosting Platform: [Self-hosted server]
• OS: [Linux 6.1.0-30-amd64 Debian 12]

Deployment Method

• Docker

Steps Taken
Describe the steps you've taken to deploy the application:

1. following docker installation guide
2. run .env scripts
3. created own domain

Error Messages
This error is seen in the inspector when trying to upload a large file (forms-dev.culturebase.org being the domain we set up): Bk3RVgqs.js:19
POST https://forms-dev.culturebase.org/api/upload-file 422 (Unprocessable Content)

Configuration Files
If relevant, provide snippets of your configuration files (make sure to remove any sensitive information).
client/.env:
NUXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=https://forms-dev.culturebase.org
NUXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE=https://forms-dev.culturebase.org/api
NUXT_PRIVATE_API_BASE=http://ingress/api
NUXT_PUBLIC_ENV=dev
NUXT_API_SECRET=***

Logs
To help us diagnose the issue, please provide the following logs:

• laravel.log in api/storage/logs on the back-end image

• Nuxt logs in the client docker logs

• those are both empty, we cannot find them

Additional context
we checked with the existing issues #570 and followed the steps there, but with no result

Hey, 422 is a validation error. Any content/payload in the response?
By default the limit should be of 50mb and we don't currently offer a way of changing this in the self-hosted version

[Kulturserver]

I see this in the response: Bk3RVgqs.js:14 Hydration completed but contains mismatches.

And 50MB is fine with us, but somehow everything larger than 2MB seems to get blocked, smaller files/images work fine.

[Kulturserver]

Is this the information you needed? Let me know, if you need more.

[JhumanJ]

Hey can you please take a look at this post on our Discord: https://discord.com/channels/1203373199765545000/1203373200218791947/1310762475129671781

[Kulturserver]

Thanks for the reply - we already enhanced that and restarted the docker and nginx accordingly, but unfortunately it didn't fix the issue.

[Kulturserver]

Do you have any other suggestions? Any help would be highly appreciated - thanks in advance!

[JhumanJ]

Hey @Kulturserver I just updated the docker images and setup. This can maybe make things easier (there's a php.ini file that can be changed)

Can you please share more details about the request/response etc?

[Kulturserver]

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, we run into a new problem when trying to install the new image.

We deleted everything and updated the git repo in /opt/opnform
if we call docker-compose up -d it stops after a short while:

Here it stops, the fetch doesn't get finalized. Are there any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[JhumanJ]

It seems like you're rebuilding the image instead of using the one on docker hub - any reasons why?
We included a script to help you get started here: https://docs.opnform.com/deployment/docker

[Kulturserver]

Thank you very much - we will look into this.

[Kulturserver]

We did a new installation following the instructions, unfortunately, the problems remain:

• When trying to upload an image larger than 1 MB we get a 422 (Unprocessable Content)-error without further details
• Uploading an image smaller than 1 MB works, but the paths aren't set correctly, as described in Problem uploading image #592

So, any additional help would be welcome, thanks a lot in advance!

[Kulturserver]

Any additional ideas? Help would be highly appreciated, thanks!

+1, any update on how to fix this.

I am experiencing same exact issue in a completely new install using your install script for docker production. This occurs with a plain docker install of Opnform and directly connecting to your nginx container to access the frontend.

I also already added to
docker/nginx.conf
the line:
client_max_body_size 100M;

I cannot find fix. I cannot find related errors in logs.

Anyone find any information or fix?

i have the same problem, using release 1.6.6 - my limit is 1MB
