Description

The docker push failed when the layer is larger than 1 GB.

Storage is set to S3 (MinIO). The chunk size has been increased.

REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_CHUNKSIZE: 514288000

I see that during upload the size of the root disk under GitLab is reduced. Probably the tmp file is placed in /var/lib/nginx/body.

Is there a way to set the proxy_request_buffering variable in the gitlab-registry nginx conf file?

GitLab version: 16.3.0 (sameersbn/gitlab:16.3.0)
Registry version: registry:2.8.2

Research direction

Start by reviewing the gitlab-registry nginx configuration and the /var/lib/nginx/body path mentioned in the report. Reproduce a push with a layer larger than 1 GB using the stated S3 and chunk-size settings, then confirm that request buffering can be configured without exhausting the root disk.
