I believe this can be closed since #106 was merged. See the README for instructions: https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy/blob/master/README.md#custom-nginx-configuration

I'm not super knowledgeable about nginx, is that nginx.tmpl usable as-is? When I drop in the template under my vhosts.d I get a 503. I see that there's some kind of templating going on with the {{ }} but I don't know if that's something from NGINX or something else. Either way I am not too sure why it's not working, I really just want to increase the client_max_body_size for my dev environment only and only for one particular vhost.

Scratch that, I was actually mounting to vhosts.d and not vhost.d (spelling). I still can't seem to get it to work right but I'll dig around more in the container and see what's happening.

Update I got it working! The problem was that I thought I had to come up with a completely new config because the docs mention something about checking the template to make sure you have everything you need, but when I looked at the template more closely I realized it was just including my vhost config inside of the server { block so all I had to do was add the one option I wanted in my file.

The other confusion was that the file should be named exactly as the host, when I was reading the doc I misinterpreted the mention of .conf to mean that it had to be my.host.conf

So in my case vhost.d/some.long.domain.com contains only:

client_body_max_size 500M

That seems to work. In case anyone else stumbles across this who misunderstood the docs.

from nginx-proxy.

client_body_max_size 500M

Correct term is client_max_body_size

Thanks! I wish I had seen that sooner. It's so succinct.

Run into this issue as well. I made a derived docker image that increases the max upload size to 10 MB: https://github.com/jasonheecs/docker-nginx-proxy
