- # Hard limit, PeerTube does not support videos > 8GB
+ # This is the maximum upload size, which roughly matches the maximum size of a video file
+ # you can send via the API or the web interface. By default this is 8GB, but administrators
+ # can increase or decrease the limit. Currently there's no way to communicate this limit
+ # to users automatically, so you may want to leave a note in your instance 'about' page if
+ # you change this.
+ #
+ # Note that temporary space is needed equal to the total size of all concurrent uploads.
+ # This data gets stored in /var/lib/nginx by default, so you may want to put this directory
+ # on a dedicated filesystem.
