Hi All,

Does anyone know if/how I can remove the collection size upload limit on a private Automation Hub?

Currently hitting API error. Status code: 413 when attempting to upload a 3.3mb collection.

nevermind, sorted this out by increasing client_max_body_size in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

I admit to confusion about why you need to upload such a large
collection? What do you gain by making them so large?

Good question, the reason for the large size is actually due to the fact that we are using our own license and not a SPDX license which is what Galaxy only supports. Thus, we are including a PDF license file in our collection which, uncompressed is 3.4mb. Without the license our collection is only ~30kb.

I wonder what could possibly make a license file 3.4Mb… IMHO licenses are notorious for being just legalese text without any makeup or anything… If your license file could be like that then your problem is solved.
