Reconfiguring BOSH Director for larger releases (invalid gzip error while uploading)

[Dmitriy Kalinin]

If uploading cf-release 204+ to your Director causes an invalid gzip error most likely issue has to do with Director nginx limits.

To reconfigure director job to accept large releases set director.max_upload_size job property to '10000mb'.

For bosh.yml:

# other config skipped

properties:

  director:

    max_upload_size: "10000m" # <------------ add this config

After modifying bosh.yml (or whatever you called your manifest) run `bosh deploy` as you would normally to update configuration.

For microbosh.yml:

# other config skipped

apply_spec:

  properties:

    director:

      max_upload_size: "10000m" # <------------ add this config

After modifying microbosh.yml you have to run `bosh micro deploy <your-stemcell> --update` as you would normally to update your MicroBOSH.
