[SOLVED] Push docker container as package fails and keeps retrying

Gitea Usages

I try to push a docker image as a package:

Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [***************]
1a8522db3b5f: Layer already exists 
3fcc0361d89c: Layer already exists 
d8878c72dfb8: Layer already exists 
de1d700d6ac2: Pushing [>                                                  ]   76.4MB/3.894GB
3fb9c8416aca: Layer already exists 
beb2745c306b: Retrying in 5 seconds

Two of my layers simply abort after ~200 MB and docker keeps retrying the upload.

There is no error in the gitea log.

I suspect is has something to do with the size. The smaller layers seemed to work.

For testing I tried setting a maximum size for a container setting in the config (previously no config entry: According to docs, that means unlimited?). I set the maximum size to 500GiB but it didn’t change a thing.

The network shouldn’t be an issue. I tried pushing the image from the server itself where gitea is running.

Any ideas how to debug that?

I’m using the latest 1.24.3 release. But it didn’t work with an older one either.

I spent the full day trying out stuff and once I wrote that post I realized I could look at the nginx in front of gitea.

Turns out my client_max_body_size config prevented the upload of the bigger layers.

Hope someone in the future finds that helpful
