Hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me with how to alter your nginx config?

nginx is not something I have come across before but I have read that adding a line to it for the parameter `client_max_body_size` can fix the 'client tried to send too large body' error that I am getting.

I am deploying airbyte locally on my Mac by cloning the github repo and running on docker desktop. I found some files in airbyte/airbyte-proxy/ called *nginx-auth.conf.template* and *nginx-no-auth.conf.template* and tried adding the change there (see picture), but it didn't seem to help. Am I missing something? Where else should I be going to make this change?

Tried to change pic but it wouldn't let me. Here's what i have at the moment, copied the structure from the config in airbyte-webapp. But it is giving the same error still.

Hey Stuart! I'm new to nginx as well, so if I can't help you I'll definitely ask for the support of the team. I've discovered this article and think it might be helpful in your case:

Specifically, it looks like you'll need to create a config file at `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` and use one of the templates there. Let me know if this helps!

Hey <@U03J7N20YAF>, thanks for looking into this. I've made some more discoveries about it. The file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf is produced by the airbyte code.
If you look at the following file: airbyte/airbyte-proxy/Dockerfile it takes the template file I was trying to edit and copies it to /etc/nginx/templates
Then the file airbyte/airbyte-proxy/run.sh uses that template to create etc/nginx/nginx.conf. At least that is how it looks from my limited understanding.

However when i run docker-compose and then copy out /etc/nginx/nginx.conf into my local using the docker cp command to take a look at it, my changes i put in the template aren't there. I think my problem is a docker one. I am also a total newbie to docker and have just been using the `docker-compose up`  command from the installation guide. I think I need to find the right command that will reset it so that my changes come through to the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf in the container.

Huh, I wouldn't have thought that you'd need to run something other than `docker compose up`

Let me look into this a bit further and I'll get back to you!
