Remove hard-coded 8GB upload limit in client (#1293)
* Remove hard-coded 8GB upload limit in client Ideally we'd know what the specific server's configured upload limit is before starting, but this 8GB limit is not useful if an administrator has changed the nginx post limit on the server. * Better docs for admins about client_max_body_size Seems like some admins already tweak this value up or down to allow for different maximum video upload sizes. The current codebase has no other server-side limits that I'm aware of, and I've been routinely uploading quite large videos to my instance. This patch replaces the somewhat incorrect (or outdated?) 'hard limit' comment with some advice about allocating enough space for nginx and communicating the limit with your users. Of course it would be better if this configuration could be unified with PeerTube's config somehow. I'm not sure whether the best option there is to turn off nginx's buffering here and let PeerTube handle the entire upload (can we do this only for the video upload API endpoint?) or whether we want PeerTube to generate nginx configs in a more automated way layer. In any case, this patch is intended as an incremental improvement.
