Can't upload job artifacts to S3 object storage, 413 request entity too large – Nginx

I am using Gitlab’s CI/CD pipeline to build an image (2,080 GB), it’s artifacts are saved in a S3 Object Storage. When trying to push the artifacts the Gitlab-runner throws following Error:

ERROR: Uploading artifacts as "archive" to coordinator | 413 Request Entity Too Large | id=96757 responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large

Additional information:

Gitlab is selfhosted and deployed in a kubernetes cluster.

  • Gitlab v15.9.1
  • Gitlab Workhorse v15.9.1
  • Gitlab-Runner v15.4.2

After some research i made two changes:

i increased Maximum artifacts size in Gitlab at Instance-, Group- and Project-Level:
configuration gitlab

and

i changed the client_max_body_size of ingress-nginx

apiVersion: v1
data:
  allow-snippet-annotations: "true"
  client-body-timeout: "600"
  client_max_body_size: "0"
  enable-vts-status: "false"
  proxy-body-size: "0"
  proxy-buffer-size: 128k
  proxy-read-timeout: "600"
  proxy-send-timeout: "600"
  use-forwarded-headers: "true"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  annotations:
    meta.helm.sh/release-name: ingress-nginx
    meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: ingress-nginx

I also opened a ticket to my s3 service provider and asked if they have a limit to their uploads but they told me it’s unlimited.

The error message is still the same and my question is, does anyone know what is causing this?
Every little hint is appreciated.

    I also opened a ticket to my s3 service provider and asked if they have a limit to their uploads but they told me it’s unlimited.

    That would be the most likey issue, as illustrated here for instance:

    For anyone that might have a similar problem in the future, the problem proved out to be minio not being able to handle files larger than 145M.

    The solution based on values-external-objectstorage.yaml was to configure task-runner to use an external bucket.

    gitlab:
  task-runner:
    replicas: 1
    backups:
      objectStorage:
        backend: gcs
        config:
          gcpProject: 
          secret: 
          key:

    The error you are seeing is returned by nginx, not MinIO. There is no limitation related to object size imposed by MinIO.
