Immich upload thorugh CloudFlare - max_upload_size limit

Hello everyone! 👋

I recently shared an album with some friends and encouraged them to upload photos from our trip. My Immich instance is exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Here’s the issue: each of them wanted to upload a large number of photos, but they ran into an error whenever their uploads exceeded 100 MB. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any relevant logs in Immich.

After some investigation, I discovered that the free Cloudflare tier has a max_upload_file size limit of 100 MB.

Could this be the cause? Specifically:
  • Does Immich handle batch uploads as a single HTTP request, which might be restricted by this file size limit?
  • Or could there be another issue I need to dig into?
If the batch upload is sent as a single HTTP request, wouldn’t it make sense to split each file into separate requests? This could potentially bypass the max_upload_file limit and also allow for parallel uploads, improving efficiency.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 😊
