File upload size limit

sp2 — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 06:30:29 GMT

I am uploading file of more than 5 gb but its getting failed in middle.

Does alfresco have any file upload limit in terms of size?

I am using this : https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer

If uploading files of some GB is a regular operation, likely it's better to adopt a different strategy. Like the one described by @jpotts in https://www.slideshare.net/jpotts/moving-gigantic-files-into-and-out-of-the-alfresco-repository.

In any case, if you want to allow users to upload files of GBs size, there are some layers you need to consider depending on the use case:

The Web Proxy (NGINX) is configured without size limits by default: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-docker-installer/blob/master/generators/app/templates/images/config/nginx/nginx.conf#L19
Tomcat Configuration: https://tecadmin.net/increase-tomcat-upload-file-size-limit/
Alfresco Share (https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/develop/share-ext-points/surf-extension-modules/#module-dynamic-configuration)
Alfresco Repository:
- ```
opencmis.maxContentSize=-1
```

I am using ACA for file upload. I have tried to upload file with aca and share, both are giving same status. It is showing 100% but not proceed further.

Web Proxy is without size limit.

Have you checked that there is enough storing space (more than 5 GB) in your Alfresco Tomcat temp folder?

I am using docker and I have provided 7 GB Memory to alfresco container.

How Can I check Temp folder space?
