Increase NGINX upload size

By default, Nginx has a limit of 1MB on file uploads. To set file upload size, you can use the client_max_body_size directive, which is part of Nginx’s ngx_http_core_module module. This directive can be set in the http, server or location context.

It sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body, specified in the "Content-Length" request header field. Here’s an example of increasing the limit to 100MB in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file.

http {
    ...
    client_max_body_size 100M;
}
