Originally created by @git-zombie on GitHub (Aug 10, 2018).

As a Heimdall user, I want to upload a high-res background image so that Heimdall looks pretty on my ultra-wide.

Background:

I was trying to upload a 3.87MB image and Heimdall was reporting a successful change but would not actually change the image.

Specific Fix:
Adding the line upload_max_filesize = 10M to my php-local.ini file increased the limit for upload and allowed me to upload the 3.87MB image I had been working with.

Possible solutions:

Document the specific fix above in the readme for the user to implement
Include the increased upload size fix (shown above) as a default
Notify the user in the dialogue of the max file size

Relates to: #4

For anyone with the same issue, this is specific to the docker rather than heimdall itself, no restrictions are placed within Heimdall itself, I asked the OP to add this issue so I could look at adding better error trapping for when it fails to upload

Added to readme so people can set it to whatever size they need

I am unable to find the readme you're refering to in my docker config directory, what should I be doing to edit the file size limit?

This issue should be re-opened. There is a secondary limit (around 8MB) regardless of what is set in php-local.ini. I am not sure what is setting this alternate limit. I tried setting upload_max_filesize = 30M and 10M and checked the error logs when I kept getting 413 responses back:

POST Content-Length of 8553000 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes

After this, I tried a half size file of the same image, which worked.

I'm a bit confused too, since increasing max filesize worked for me some months ago. However, adjusting max post size solves the issue.

upload_max_filesize = 20M
post_max_size = 20M

Would definitely be great if this error could be caught on upload and the user warned.
