You are right, to upload large files you need to increase the proxy\_read\_timeout in mender-api-gateway. This is going to be fixed in our next patch release, in the meantime you can make the configuration permanent as follows:

```
diff a/docker-compose.yml b/docker-compose.yml
index a2302f7..d3b2b66 100644
--- a/docker-compose.yml
+++ b/docker-compose.yml

```

This is not the optimal solution, but fixes the issue till the next release.
