TLDR: Can I utilize my existing deployment YAML (see dev-deployment.yaml snippet below) to specify a client_max_body_size to a server or servers in my nginx ingress?

Some background:

  • I recently added some functionality to an API for uploading images
  • Receive this error when attempting uploads in our DEV environment: 413 Request Entity Too Large
    • issue not occurring when running locally
  • Preliminary research suggested increasing the nginx 'client_max_body_size' greater than the attempted upload size
  • Additionally found that setting an annotation like 'nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size' in my YAML might achieve the same goal
  • This all runs in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

I don't know if it's even possible to configure this setting via this method with the desired outcome at this point. Just seeing if anyone may have a similar configuration and if they were able to resolve it from a YAML perspective, versus going in and editing nginx .conf file(s) in the node agents in AKS.

dev-deployment.yaml (ingress rules section only)

#ingress rules --- apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: someApp-ingress-dev namespace: default annotations: kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: / nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 50m spec: tls: - hosts: - ui-dev.example.com - api1-dev.example.com - api2-dev.example.com - api3-dev.example.com - api4-dev.example.com secretName: someApp-secret rules: - host: ui-dev.example.com http: paths: - path: / pathType: Prefix backend: service: name: someApp-ui-dev port: number: 80 - host: structures-dev.example.com http: paths: - path: / pathType: Prefix backend: service: name: someApp-api1-api-dev port: number: 80 // limited to (2) rules for brevity

I found a way to do this and side-stepped all that I posed above.

I added the following entry in the ConfigMap in AKS for my nginx-ingress controllers:

data: client-max-body-size: 40m 

My pods inherited this (after delete) and applied it to all the server entries in my default.conf. I'll circle back at some point and figure out how to target a specific server entry.
