Hello,
I am currently running self hosted Mender server 4.0.1 deploying to an Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano running Ubuntu 20.04. I am attempting to deploy docker containers from the server to the devices through the Mender artifacts, but some of the images are over 10GB. The previous forum post offered some insight about a workaround for the issue of uploading large artifacts, but it appears to be deprecated since the Mender server no longer uses Nginx for network routing as I understand it and now uses Traefik. Is there a similar/updated workaround for the latest version of Mender that allows me to deploy artifacts greater than 10GB? I look forward to hearing a potential resolution to my issue.
Thank you!

Hi @selasie,
Reading up on the other thread, I think the only two real takeaways were:
- try to use compression
- take a real look at your filesystem instead of blindly trusting Nvidia to find out where the bloat comes from.
Concerning Hosted Mender, the 10GiB artifact size limit is still in place and there are no plans to change it.
I think there is an offer to use a self-hosted S3 bucket for Enterprise tier customers which should be able to go beyond the limit, but the usual best strategy really is to just cut down the payload.

Thank you for your response,
What is this about the offer to use a self-hosted s3 bucket? Would that not be possible if I am running the server on my own system instead of hosted Mender?

Hi @selasie,
If you are self hosting then you should be able to adjust the limits as you wish.
