Downloads over 1GB simply stop

So Here’s my setup.

I have Proxmox hosting a ubuntu 22.04 LXC (container) and ive installed Seafile on it. (i have another LXC that i run nginx proxy manager, to manage the SSL certs and a one stop shop in terms of setting up proxies).

The server (cloud[dot]mydomain[dot]pt) works great, ive uploaded / synced a lot of files to it from my main server and can download and upload at will. but ANYTHING above 1gb, ive hitting a wall where it just “stops”, no matter the browser. (ive made changes, as you’ll see in the files)

Heres my /opt/seafile/conf/seafile.conf , my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/seafile.conf and my reverse proxy machine settings

/opt/seafile/conf/seafile.conf

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/seafile.conf

[fileserver]
port = 8082
max_download_dir_size = 2500000

[database]
type = mysql
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 3306
user = seafile
password = [REDACTED]
db_name = seafile_db
connection_charset = utf8

[notification]
enabled = false
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8083
log_level = info
jwt_private_key = [REDACTED]

I’ve just tested , downloading via the local ip, and the results are the same, hence i BELIEVE it might be a issue with the config on the /etc/nginx/sites , or opt/ and not a issue with the NPM (nginx proxy manager)

Another test - different network and computer / browser - results prevail

If it’s a problem with nginx, it ought to present you with a clue in its error logs. Is there really nothing to go by at all in the logs?

I would assume those would be the /var/log/nginx ones?

The only thing im seeing is the GET request, working properly in seafhttp.access.log

I’ve found the solution.

The problem was indeed in NPM settings. (even adding this directly in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled did not do it, only adding it on the NPM)

in NPM gui> advanced i’ve added this comments

proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;

Thats LITERALLY it

Tested with 1.5gb, 2.8gb, 5.3gb - its working flawlessly
