Add an env variable to adjust max_chunk_size and max_file_uploads.

[JMarcosHP]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users with high upload speed and cloudflare tunnel/proxy users can benefit of this env variables.

For example, if a user wants to upload a folder with +20 files and the whole folder size is +40GB, the default chunk size is 10MiB, so this can be an issue because it exceeds the value of max_file_uploads.

Cloudflare Tunnel/proxy users on tier free can upload up 100MB per request, this can be solved by limiting chunk size to 95MiB in case of a large file upload, and combining with max_file_uploads, say 60.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the folowing env variables to docker-compose.yml
NEXTCLOUD_MAX_FILE_UPLOADS:
NEXTCLOUD_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE:

Describe alternatives you've considered

Set 95MiB as the default for max_chunk_size, and 50 or above for max_file_uploads.

Hi, based on https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/big_file_upload_configuration.html#adjust-chunk-size-on-nextcloud-side and https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-run-occ-commands, you can already set the max_chunk_size via sudo docker exec --user www-data nextcloud-aio-nextcloud php occ config:app:set files max_chunk_size --value 20971520

Regarding max_file_uploads, I dont understand why you need to adjust this setting. Can you explain?

Edit: I think you are misunderstanding this setting.

Yes, I know. But it can be more easy to set using env variables directly if you use the docker-compose file, this already has some env variables to adjust php/nexcloud values like NEXTCLOUD_UPLOAD_LIMIT:

No

Regarding max_file_uploads, I dont understand why you need to adjust this setting. Can you explain?

If you increase max_file_uploads value, you can upload a folder with many files inside on a single request, yesterday I uploaded a folder with +64 files on each folder inside the main folder, 2 of them got me an error because it exceeded the max default value of 20 files per request. I think this error was due to the number of chunks being greater than 20, since each file was around 3GB in size.

Hi, you can temporarily increase the value yourself by running sudo docker exec nextcloud-aio-nextcloud bash -c "echo 'max_file_uploads=200' >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/nextcloud.ini"; sudo docker restart nextcloud-aio-nextcloud. Afterwards please report back if that fixes the situation for you.

No. max_file_uploads controls how many files can be uploaded in a single request (which is anyway limited to 100 MB on Cloudflare Tunnels). Chunks are sent in different requests.

Thanks for the clarification.

max_file_uploads allows you to upload the specified number of files simultaneously in a single request.

PHP default value is 20 files per request.

I will try to upload the same folder outside the cloudflare tunnel to see if this issue is about the 100MB limitation or max_file_uploads value.
