I have developed a Django application and deployed it in an Elastic Beanstalk environment (with nginx as proxy server).
The Linux platform should be the first version because if I run the command: cat /etc/os-release in the terminal of the EC2 instance managed by EB I get these information:
Also I double confirm that it’s Linux 1 and NOT Linux 2 by going to the EC2 console:
Now, after having clarified which Linux platform I’m using in the EC2 instance, let’s go ahead with the problem.
When I access the EC2 instance and I go the file etc/nginx/nginx.conf, what I see is this:
Now, what I want to do is to increase the timeout settings under the “server” section of the nginx.conf file.
I also would like to increase the client_max_body_size somehow.
I read from some documentation online the I have to create a .ebextensions folder in the root of my Django project with inside some .config files and also a buildspec.yml file in the root folder of the project.
So this is where I have located my files:
my_project
|- .ebextensions
| |- django.config
| |- instances.config
| |- nginx.config
|- buildspec.yml
|- manage.py
|...Here the content of each file:
django.config:

- '**/*' But after deploying the application on the Elastic Beanstalk environment I always see the default nginx configuration.
So my question is, how can I change the configuration of the nginx server during deployment in order to increase the following parameters:
- client_max_body_size 500M;
- client_header_timeout 900;
- client_body_timeout 900;
- send_timeout 900;
- proxy_connect_timeout 900;
- proxy_read_timeout 900;
- proxy_send_timeout 900;
