Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
When a image bigger than 5MBs is uploaded the system give an error.
File size too large. Please select a file smaller than 5MB.
To increase this limit, I tried to change FILE_SIZE_LIMIT to 15728640 in .env a restart the services, both with ./setup.sh script and directly docker compose up -f and after the services are up again the same error happens when trying to upload a big file.
Steps to reproduce
Create an issue an try to upload a 6MB file
Browser
Safari, also in Firefox
Version
Self-hosted

Research direction
Start by tracing how FILE_SIZE_LIMIT is passed through the self-hosted Docker Compose setup and where the 5MB attachment validation is applied. Reproduce the issue by creating an issue and uploading a 6MB image after setting FILE_SIZE_LIMIT to 15728640; done means the configured limit is honored after restarting the services.
