Can I add additional nginx settings?

[afridlund85]

I use one of the containers behind the reverse proxy for gitlab ce and would like to change the nginx setting: "client_max_body_size" from its default "1M" to allow larger commits. Since the nginx default.conf is managed by the reverse proxy, any changes I apply to the file manually can change if the container is rebuilt.

To change it I used docker exec to access the container, install a nano, open the file and add the line manually.

Is there any way to change nginx settings outside the container, using docker or additional configs?

Search for "client_max_body_size" in README.md and you will see some examples about custom config

Hi, close?

Hi guys,
I have an issue to change this setting too (client_max_body_size). Because I use this image with docker-compose, I tried to build a custom image as explained in the "Proxy-wide" section. Unfortunately, it seems it doesn't work and i don't see this new custom conf in the conf.d directory linked as described in my docker-composer file.
Any idea ?

Thx
