## What is it?

When you are deploying a tar file with large size, you will see this error message. This is caused due to the nginx.conf which sets default max file size limit to 200MB.

## How to fix it?

1. In your captain dashboard, go to settings.
2. Edit the file `/etc/nginx/conf.d/captain-root.conf` and update `client_max_body_size 300m` as per your requirement.
3. Click 'Save and Update' for captain to reload nginx.
