.conf file
files:
"/etc/nginx/conf.d/01_proxy.conf":
mode: "000644"
owner: root
group: root
content: |
client_max_body_size 200M;
container_commands:
01_reload_nginx:
command: "sudo nginx -s reload"
I have put this file in all possible folders:
.ebextensions
|-- 01_nginx.conf
|
|--nginx
|--01_nginx.conf
|--conf.d
|--01_nginx.conf
when I check the log, the first message is
2020/07/31 18:23:59.603405 [INFO] Finished executing the config set Infra-EmbeddedPostBuild.
then
2020/07/31 18:23:59.603427 [INFO] Executing instruction: CleanEbExtensions
In theory when .ebextensions is cleant the custom commands should already have been executed, but they are not (when I connect via ssh to the server no file has been created as well as if I try to upload files, the server responds with a 413).
I have also tried modifying the nginx.conf file in /etc/nginx/ but it is reset everytime I update the code. All the /etc/nginx/ directory seems to be reset because I have also tried to put a "000_custom.conf" file in "/etc/nginx/conf.d/", but with no results.
Edit: I'd like to point out that if I modify nginx.conf in "/etc/nginx/" on the server and I do a "sudo nginx -s reload" it works till the next code build.
The likely reason why your nginx config does not work is that you are using current version of EB which is based on Amazon Linux 2 (AL2). However, your nginx config files are for AL1, which is old.
For AL2, nginx settings should be in .platform, not in .ebextentions as shown in the docs.
Therefore, you could try creating file .platform/nginx/conf.d/mynginx.conf with the content of:
client_max_body_size 200M;
