"I can't upload large files even though I changed `maxFileSize`"

"check your reverse proxy, it may have a limit of its own"

nginx has client_max_body_size, which some distributions may set by default.

added FAQ label

which some distributions may set by default.

Note that the distributions that don't set it will have an even lower limit. The actual default from nginx when client_max_body_size is unset is 1M. The default value will practically always be too small for large media uploads, even if the distro increases the default from 1M.

Perhaps it could also be possible to differentiate the response from Sharkey blocking the upload and nginx blocking the upload, and show a slightly different message if Sharkey didn't create the error?

ah, thank you for that detail! (I run Apache, so I'm not familiar with nginx)

differentiating the response: not really (the code responsible for that is delegating to @fastify/multipart which then delegates to @fastify/busboy and it's not clear if we can customise the error responses)
