Hey, I also have that issue. In my case I’m trying to proxy Immich (https://github.com/immich-app/immich) through NPM. If I adjust the custom config as following: “client_max_body_size 0;” I get an error code 500 after uploading ~1.5G I also tried “client_max_body_size 100000m;” and added “proxy_max_temp_file_size 100000m;” too. The same error occurs.

The error is shown in Immich as following: immich_error With no custom config I’m getting this error: immich_error_2

It works!

I pushed a giant (13GiB) docker container image to harbor via nginxproxymanager as a reverse proxy service. I did it.

This absolutely worked for me. Make sure you don’t have any other servers between the client and your application (CF, another nginx server between NPManager and your app for hosting static files, etc.) and that your application itself is configured to allow large requests.

Worked for me. I realised I had another proxy server in front of NPM. So I updated the client_max_body_size for that server too
