I’ve an Nginx based Angular frontend app using docker, and I was getting 413(Payload Too Large) error when uploading a large file, I then tried to fix it by adding the following:

location / {
    client_max_body_size: 20M
}

And suddenly I stopped getting the error, when running my local docker container.

Now that I deployed the same changes in the prod, I’m still getting the same error.

I thought that if it’s working in local it should work in the prepared as well, but that didn’t, even though I’m using docker????

What could be the reason, guys?

I’m not restarting the nginx server, as the Docker should apply a hot reload: Please refer here.

Please help.
