I’m trying to upload files in my django app on fly.io but the the files are large and takes time I receive a time-out error. How can I handle this? Is Thera e procedure to upload large files in fly?
I doubt there is generic advice that would apply. I have a Rails app deployed to fly.io where a user uploaded a 164MB file successfully.
The problem is not the file size but the time it takes to upload. A bandwidth issue. It seems to have a 30s time-out.

I suspect that the limit you are seeing is elsewhere. For example:
Command line:
-t INTor--timeout INTDefault:
30Workers silent for more than this many seconds are killed and restarted.
Value is a positive number or 0. Setting it to 0 has the effect of infinite timeouts by disabling timeouts for all workers entirely.
The connection is broken after 30s during the file upload. When the file is smaller and takes less than 30s everything works.
I just uploaded the file I mentioned previously, this time to a fly.io server running in the iad region. It took 148.013 seconds to do so. The upload completed successfully.
My stack is nginx + passenger + rails + active storage. What is your stack?
My stack is just Django + Gunicorn. Uploading to the file system.
My app needs the file for processing and then it’s discarded, I don’t need to keep the file.
But it never gets updloaded in full due to this problem.
And Gunicorn defaults to a 30 second timeout. See the link to the documentation I provided above.
Yes. I tried to increase but it didn’t work. Perhaps I’ve missed sometring. I’ll try again.
Thanks for the help.
