Increasing artifact upload size limit

If you have upgraded to Package Security Manager (On-prem) 6.6.2 or later and require support for artifacts that exceed 3GB in size, you must update Package Security Manager to accept them.

​

How do I know if I need to increase my upload size limit?

There is a test you can perform to determine whether or not you need to increase your artifact upload size limit:

1. Open a terminal and connect to your instance of Package Security Manager.

2. Enter the docker container and count the number of rows in the routes and blobs tables by running the following command:

   sudo docker exec -it postgres psql -U postgres
   select count(*) from routes;select count(*) from blobs;
   \q
   

   If the count for either value exceeds 2,000,000, you must increase your artifact upload size limit manually.

​

Increasing the size limit

To increase the package upload size limit:

1. Enter your Package Security Manager installer directory by running the following command:

   # Replace <INSTALLER> with your Package Security Manager installer directory
   cd <INSTALLER>
   

2. Run the following command:

   sudo docker compose exec repo_api /bin/repo update-blob-sizes-to-big-int
