[Question] Problem with big files

[diego-goncalves-teixeira]

Hey everyone, I am running GOWS on a low spec machine with only 4 GB of RAM. It works fine for me because I only have a few clients. However, today one client sent a 1 GB file and that caused an out of memory error on my EC2 instance.

I am looking for a solution to this. What could I do to prevent this from happening?

I thought about limiting the maximum file size that GOWS can receive on the machine where it runs, but for that I would need access to the source code.

Can you suggest some options?

limiting the maximum file size that GOWS can receive on the machine where it runs

We could add it as env variable, would it work for you case?

Like this to limit it to 100Mb

WAHA_FILE_SIZE_SEND_LIMIT=104857600
WAHA_FILE_SIZE_RECEIVE_LIMIT=104857600

We don't handle files good, it shouldn't give OOM at all, but this is what we have :(
