Git client 413 error Entity Too Large about blot HOT 3 CLOSED

Bugs filed here are great! I believe you are correct, it is probably NGINX limiting this, specifically the client_max_body_size directive in Blot's configuration.

The issue is probably that 36mb is greater than 8mb. I'm not sure what a sensible client_max_body_size value is. I believe GitHub has a 150mb push limit.

As a work-around for now, if you incrementally add, commit, then push files (never more than 8mb in a single push) I suspect it'll work. I recognize this is far from ideal though.

I don't know what would be a sensible value in this case either given it's not just a limit for any single 'item' uploaded (as it may be with Dropbox i'd guess?) It's seems tricky with Git indeed with anything that isn't text.

it's only a little trouble in this case/when importing an archive of posts then yes... — It didn't occur to me i could just add everything incrementally. i only payed more attention to the error & recalled having seen something about the NGINX conf/limit when i wanted to report the problem & i tested with Dropbox to compare... (Although i didn't know what was the size limit.)

Anyway yes as a work-around it'd totally work :) Thanks.

// Hah, I wish again for a SFTP feature where i could just drag&drop without Dropbox as a 'middleman'. :) I haven't yet exactly figured out how i'll use my account but i'm happy to support the project, it's really great.

I bumped the max size to 100mb, going to consider this resolved for now
