Wordpress Docker won't increase upload limit
Solution 1
I discovered my problem.
docker-compose kill
will kill a container but rebuild it from a cache. Meaning no changes to my files were taking place.
Use docker-compose up -d --build
Solution 2
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?...
Solution 3
I prefer to adjust .htaccess for my own workflow. Last 2 lines are what I added
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
php_value upload_max_filesize 500M
php_value post_max_size 500M
then restart
docker-compose down --volumes
docker-compose up -d
Enjoy )
Solution 4
The best option would be to execute the command:
docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d --build
docker-compose kill
, in this case the process itself is killed, this is not entirely correct.
Solution 5
Just add these two lines to then end of your .htaccess file :
php_value upload_max_filesize 500M
php_value post_max_size 500M
You don't even need to restart the container

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:
