How to set max request body size in traefik ingress controller for kubernetes?

It's very easy to set up max request body size with nginx using client_max_body_size directive. How can I do the same with kubernetes traefik ingress controller. I know there is maxrequestbodybytes directive to do so but, I'm lost with how to set it up in yaml file describing my ingress.

Solution

  • Wasn't so easy to figure this out. There is a funky multiline way of specifying this config in yaml file. Please check option traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/buffering to see he pipe (|) oprator in acction.
