Increase the upload limit on app size
CONSOLE 3.22.4+
With the 3.22.4 release of Blue Cedar Console (on-premises), users can now upload apps larger than 50 MB.
Prerequisites
For consoles managing apps with a 150 MB size limit:
- Minimum required RAM: 4 GB
- Minimum required disk space: 50 GB
When changing the app size limit, RAM and disk space on the console host should also be increased.
Note: The app's complexity as well as its size affects the amount of RAM needed. The formulas here describe a rule of thumb, but the RAM may need to be tuned for apps with larger number of classes than usual.
| App size | Disk space | RAM | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formula | 50 GB + 20*max_allowed_packet | 4 GB + 1 GB for every 100 MB over 150 MB app size | |
| Baseline | 150 MB | 50 GB | 4 GB |
| Example | 250 MB | 55 GB (50 GB + 20*250 MB) | 5 GB |
Step-by-step guide
On your console host with 3.22.4 installed, follow the steps below:
Backup any data you have. Use your MySQL credentials for MySQLuser and MySQLpwd.
$ cd /tmp/ $ mkdir -p appcontrol-export/data $ chmod a+rwx appcontrol-export/data $ mysqldump -u MySQLuser -pMySQLpwd -f --routines --no-data appcontrol > appcontrol-export/appcontrol-schema.sql $ mysqldump -u MySQLuser -pMySQLpwd -f --max-allowed-packet=1G --tab=/tmp/appcontrol-export/data appcontrol $ zip -x '**/data/*.sql' -r appcontrol-export.zip appcontrol-export/
Copy the config file to the /etc/ directory on your host:
$ sudo docker cp policy_console_database:/console/database/policy-console-sql.cnf /etc/
Within this config file, edit these values:
Change max_allowed_packet value to a little over the app size you would want to upload to the console, accounting for the integrated app's size. Make sure the max_allowed_packet value for both mysql and mysqld sections match.
Change innodb_log_file_size value to at least 10 times the value of max_allowed_packet
After making these changes, reboot with this command:
$ sudo service policy-console reboot
