I am fairly new to GCP and I have a rest URI to upload large files.
I have a ngress-nginx-controller service and want to change it to upload files larger than 1mb and set a limit.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
annotations:
kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
{"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"Service","metadata":{"annotations":{},"labels":{"app.kubernetes.io/component":"controller","app.kubernetes.io/instance":"ingress-nginx","app.kubernetes.io/managed-by":"Helm","app.kubernetes.io/name":"ingress-nginx","app.kubernetes.io/version":"0.35.0","helm.sh/chart":"ingress-nginx-2.13.0"},"name":"ingress-nginx-controller","namespace":"ingress-nginx"},"spec":{"externalTrafficPolicy":"Local","ports":[{"name":"http","port":80,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":"http"},{"name":"https","port":443,"protocol":"TCP","targetPort":"https"}],"selector":{"app.kubernetes.io/component":"controller","app.kubernetes.io/instance":"ingress-nginx","app.kubernetes.io/name":"ingress-nginx"},"type":"LoadBalancer"}}
creationTimestamp: "2020-09-21T18:37:27Z"
finalizers:
- service.kubernetes.io/load-balancer-cleanup
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/component: controller
app.kubernetes.io/instance: ingress-nginx

app.kubernetes.io/name: ingress-nginx
app.kubernetes.io/version: 0.35.0
helm.sh/chart: ingress-nginx-2.13.0
name: ingress-nginx-controller
namespace: ingress-nginx
This is the error it throws :

If you need to increase the body size of files you upload via the ingress controller, you need to add an annotation to your ingress resource:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 8m
Documentation available here: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations/#custom-max-body-size

If you're using ingress-nginx helm chart
you need to set the values in the following way
controller:
replicaCount: 2
service:
annotations:
...
config:
proxy-body-size: "8m"
