Upload issue from android app
Hi,
I'm trying to use the app's backup to server feature, from a selected album on my android device, and the uploads never complete.
Since I didn't use this feature before (for now, I only use external libraries), I can't tell if this a new issue of it never worked on my device.
So i just added a couple of pictures to the album on the phone, and started backup. The upload progress bar seems to show that all files are transferred, but then t gets stuck at 100% and nothing more happens.
The error message on mobile app is :
PlatformDispatcher - Catch all
Bad state: Unable to fetch properties for path -1556912457
Samsung Galaxy S9, Android 10
Mobile app 1.124.0 build 173
Server 1.124.2 : docker on Synology NAS running server + redis + postgres / docker on Ubuntu server 22.04.5 running ML

Mobile app stack trace :
Nothing special in container log (just after fresh restart) :
compose file (on Synology), with this .env :
and one last detail, if that matters :
the immich server (on Synology) is accessed through a docker nginx reverse proxy sitting on the other Ubuntu server (web sockets open)
oh, and I just checked and noticed the redis image version was not up to date in my yml, I chenged it but issue remains.
Does uploading work from the web?
good question, didn't think about testing this.
no, it doesn't work either.
where can I find corresponding log entries ?
(logging is on, level is 'log', but I don't see anything in the container log. Is it elsewhere ?)

error means 'unable to upload file'
FWIW, access to upload location seems OK, since I can see all subfolders, and hidden .immich files

Please try connecting directly to the port, without the reverse proxy, as well
yeah, wait a minute, I just thought about checking reverse proxy logs, and I get a 'body too large' error...
was sure to have properly configured this back then, but I probably missed something
https://immich.app/docs/administration/reverse-proxy/
You need the max body size settings as shown in the docs
yes, that's what was missing, and actually I had an "over-convoluted" nginx config (because I kind of lazily migrated from another set-up), and the body size setting was not enforced.
I re-configured everything from scratch, and it's all working now (from web and mobile app).
Thanks for your help and sorry for the misconfiguration on my side.
