Are you facing frustration trying to increase the upload limit of your Dockerized Wordpress instance? 😫 Don't worry, you're not alone! Many users encounter this common issue, but luckily, there are easy solutions available. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step to help you increase the upload limit hassle-free. Let's get started! 💪

Common Issue

One of the common issues users face when trying to increase the upload limit is receiving the following error message:

[filename] exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.

Even when attaching the uploads.ini file to your Dockerized Wordpress instance, the upload limit doesn't seem to increase. Let's explore how to address this issue and find a suitable solution.

Solution

To increase the upload limit of your Dockerized Wordpress instance, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your docker-compose.yml file.

2. Locate the volumes section under the wordpress service and add the following line:

- ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini

Your docker-compose.yml file should now look like this:

version: '2'
services:
   db:
     image: mysql:5.7
     volumes:
       - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
     restart: always
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password1
       MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
       MYSQL_USER: wordpress
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: password1

   wordpress:
     depends_on:
       - db
     build: ./wordpress
     ports:
       - "8085:80"
     restart: always
     environment:
       WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306
       WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password1
     volumes: 
       - ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini 
volumes:
    db_data:

1. Now, create an uploads.ini file in the same directory as your docker-compose.yml file, and add the following lines to increase the upload limit:

file_uploads = On
memory_limit = 500M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
max_execution_time = 600

Make sure to customize the values according to your requirements.

1. Save the uploads.ini file.

2. Restart your Dockerized Wordpress instance using the following command in your terminal:

docker-compose restart

1. That's it! Your upload limit should now be increased successfully. 🎉
