Wordpress Docker won't increase upload limit

Question

I am trying to increate the upload limit of my Dockerized Wordpress instance to 150M.

[filename] exceeds the maximum upload size for this site.

I have created an uploads.ini file and attached it by volume to the instance. Yet I still can't get the Wordpress media uploader to increase it's limit.

Docker-compose.yml:

version: '2' services:    db:      image: mysql:5.7      volumes:        - db_data:/var/lib/mysql      restart: always      environment:        MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password1        MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress        MYSQL_USER: wordpress        MYSQL_PASSWORD: password1     wordpress:      depends_on:        - db      build: ./wordpress      ports:        - "8085:80"      restart: always      environment:        WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306        WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: password1      volumes:         - ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini  volumes:     db_data: 

uploads.ini:

file_uploads = On memory_limit = 500M upload_max_filesize = 500M post_max_size = 500M max_execution_time = 600 

Docker inspect on container:

EDIT: there was a typo in 'upload_max_filesize'

Answer 1

it worked for me as follows: i created uploads.ini alongside of docker-compose.yml with following lines. this is exactly how it stated in fist post.

file_uploads = On memory_limit = 500M upload_max_filesize = 500M post_max_size = 500M max_execution_time = 600 

after this i added

volumes:     - ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini 

to my .yml file as it states in first post.

after this i had to delete the container/images (basically start from scratch):

docker stop [image name] docker rm [image name] docker image rm [image name] 

some places i end up using ID insted of image name. name or ID basically you have to stop, remove container and image. bottom line is start from scratch with additional line in your .yml file as describe in first post. remember, you'll lose all your wp work. now run

docker-compose up -d --build 

upload limit should be increased now. i was able to upload my new bigger theme after this change. no more upload file size error. only question is if you need to increase this upload size limit in the middle of your work then how would you do this?...
