Description

Using docker image how can I set an upper limit of 4MB for upload release files?

Found this wiki article but it's not related to docker:
File upload fails with: 413 Request Entity Too Large (https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/reverse-proxies/)

Found out this setting:
https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger#/settings/getGeneralAPISettings
default_max_blob_size | integer($int64)

Readed current value:
curl -X 'GET' 'https://try.gitea.io/api/v1/settings/api' -H 'accept: application/json'

{"max_response_items":50,"default_paging_num":30,"default_git_trees_per_page":1000,"default_max_blob_size":10485760}

`

Tried to set new value:
curl -v -X 'POST' 'http://who@where/api/v1/settings/api' -H 'accept: application/json' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"default_max_blob_size\": 4000 }"
show this output but doesn't change the value

Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

Can you please add the parameter to app.ini or point me out how to change it?
Thanks, BR
