Hi I can upload compiled binary to repository / releases. But I can only upload 5 binary. It seems to be some limit. I have read the “cheat sheet”: [https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/administration/config-cheat-sheet/](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/). But can’t find any settings for max\_files, for releases. I have tried to change under repository.releases to, MAX\_FILES = 12, with no effect. Any ideas ? Best regards Micke ---

Are you using a reverse proxy? Sometimes nginx and apache httpd have limitations even before the request reaches gitea. ---

Hi I do not think it is a limitation in the proxy. I can see thumbnails for the uploaded files (then uploading) but only 5 of them have a OK check, the other have a cross-ower. This is presented from the front end in gitea. //Micke
