Customizing Nginx Configuration in AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I\'m running a rails application on Ruby 2.0/Puma instances and am trying to customize the nginx configuration. I need to increase the permitted request size to allow file uploa

Answer 1

I had a similar situation with a Docker deployment into Elastic Beanstalk. I was able to solve the change as well as the nginx reload with a single config file here: /.ebextensions/increase_upload_size.config including the following code:

container_commands:
  01_reload_nginx:
    command: "sudo service nginx reload"

files:
  "/etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf" :
    mode: "000644"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      client_max_body_size 20M;

The change was implemented when I did an "Upload and Deploy" within EB.
