I installed taiga via `docker,` and when I try to upload a file larger than 1 megabyte I get an error `413 Request Entity Too Large` from the `/api/v1/userstories/attachments` endpoint. Tell me how to increase the size of the uploaded file? ---

> [@gvzlom](#): > > /api/v1/userstories/attachments Hi @gvzlom Welcome to the community! Regarding your error, it doesn’t seem to be a problem in Taiga, but a typical message previous to Taiga. For example if you have set an Nginx proxypassing the connections I’d look in its settings: [Error: 413 “Request Entity Too Large” in Nginx with “client\_max\_body\_size” / Changes in Nginx config file. | by Shubham Verma | Medium](https://medium.com/@svsh227/error-413-request-entity-too-large-in-nginx-with-client-max-body-size-changes-in-nginx-6aacd525fe11) Regards ---

I installed only through the original docker-compose from you and there really is a container with nginx, I added what is written in the article above, but alas it did not help =( maybe there is nginx somewhere in other containers ? ---

What is the size of the file you’re trying to upload? I’ve installed Taiga from scratch and I’ve been able to upload a 1,9mb file. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/taiga/original/2X/6/662b6a471eb151c07b1ee8b10d494bffd79c119b.png) As it really takes very little time, I recommend you to repeat a clean installation, verifying you can upload a similar sized file, and then start to change it according to your custom requirements. ---

Hi, I checked the server again and nginx was actually installed. Thanks for the help colleagues, I fixed everything!
