The limit is defined in nginx config.
You can find the default config here:
https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/blob/master/ui/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf
see the line client_max_body_size 5000K;
You can replace this config without building a new version of CompreFace.
All you need is to create a volume for compreface-core container in docker-compose file. The path inside the container is "/etc/nginx/conf.d"
Then you will need to place in this volume your own nginx config.

Hi @pospielov,
I configured client_max_body_size to 50M but not success. I got <Response [413]> (413 = payload too large) when recognizing images above 5MB size. I tried with both normal and mobile builds.
Do you have any ideas?

P/s: I'm sure that I changed this config by use this command: docker cp compreface-core:/etc/nginx/conf.d C:\nginx and then check the file C:\nginx\nginx.conf that having line client_max_body_size 50M;
Thanks,

Hi, does the error is the same as before you changed the config?
Could you try to break that nginx.conf somehow and check that CompreFace stopped working at all?

Hi @pospielov, the error is the same as before. I recognized that this change should apply for compreface-ui but not compreface-core. It passed this error after apply your fix for compreface-ui.
But new error relates to size limit occurred:
org.springframework.web.multipart.MaxUploadSizeExceededException: Maximum upload size exceeded; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.impl.SizeLimitExceededException: the request was rejected because its size (24345940) exceeds the configured maximum (10485760) compreface-api | at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.handleParseFailure(StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.java:122) compreface-api | at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.parseRequest(StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.java:115) compreface-api | at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.<init>(StandardMultipartHttpServletRequest.java:88) compreface-api | at org.springframework.web.multipart.support.StandardServletMultipartResolver.resolveMultipart(StandardServletMultipartResolver.java:87)
It somehow relates to Spring setting. Could you please check? Thanks.

Bad news, looks like it is hardcoded in application.yml with 10Mb value:
https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/blob/master/java/api/src/main/resources/application.yml
For now you can only change it and rebuild CompreFace. I'll create a task to make it dynamic

I fixed this problem by follow steps:

    1. Edit file nginx.conf: Set client_max_body_size 50M;
    2. Edit file docker-compose.yml, add volumes to compreface-core:
            volumes:
                - nginx_conf_volume:/etc/nginx/conf.d
            nginx_conf_volume should be also declared on top of file:
            volumes:
                - nginx_conf_volume:
    3. Run command: docker-compose up
    4. Copy nginx.conf: docker cp /path/to/nginx.conf compreface-ui:/etc/nginx/conf.d
    5. Restart compose.
