I am working build an OTT platform but facing issue on Uploading large file to server.
I have tried doing it with multer to store the file in temp folder and use aws-sdk s3.upload
.
It works fine with small file size, But if I tries to Upload Large file, it return
Network Error or Error 413 request entity too large
Following Error 413 - I have changed nginx.config (client_max_body_size 0;
)
// 0 is for unlimited
but still no change. I have also tried doing it with multer-s3 but still no success. Later I tried doing it with busboy but still I am facing same issue. Here I am attaching my code where I am using busboy In ReactJs I am using Axios Please help
server.js
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const passport = require('passport');
const helmet = require('helmet');
const path = require('path');
const morgan = require('morgan');
const cors = require('cors');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
// var admin = require('firebase-admin');
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const busboy = require('connect-busboy');
const { setCloudinary } = require('./middleware/cloudinary');
// initalizing app
const app = express();
app.use(cors());
// app.use(helmet());
app.use(
busboy({
highWaterMark: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // Set 10 MiB buffer
})
); // Insert the busboy middle-ware
// for environment files
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
dotenv.config({ path: './env/.env.production' });
} else {
dotenv.config({ path: './env/.env' });
}
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
const mongoDbUrl = process.env.mongoDbUrl;
const profileRoute = require('./routes/profile');
const adminRoute = require('./routes/admin');
const planRoute = require('./routes/plan');
const videoRoute = require('./routes/video');
//connnecting mongoDB server
mongoose
.connect(mongoDbUrl, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useFindAndModify: false,
useCreateIndex: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
})
.then((result) => {
if (result) {
setCloudinary();
//if all goes right then listing to the server
// var server = https.createServer(options, app);
// console.log(server);
app.listen(PORT, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(`server is running at ${PORT}`);
});
}
})
.catch((err) => {
throw err;
});
//logging logs
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
app.use(morgan('tiny'));
} else {
app.use(morgan('dev'));
mongoose.set('debug', true);
}
//initiallizaing passport
app.use(passport.initialize());
// require('./utils/adminRole')(passport);
require('./utils/firebase');
require('./utils/gcm');
app.use(express.json());
app.use(
express.urlencoded({
extended: true,
})
);
// API serving routes
app.use('/api/v1/profile', profileRoute);
app.use('/api/v1/admin', adminRoute);
app.use('/api/v1/plan', planRoute);
app.use('/api/v1/videos', videoRoute);
// FOR REACT JS APP
//if the app is in production then serve files also
// if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' || process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test') {
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'client', 'build')));
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'client', 'build', 'index.html'));
});
// }
// task
require('./jobs/Jobs');
router.js
router.post('/add/video', (req, res) => {
req.pipe(req.busboy); // Pipe it trough busboy
req.busboy.on('file', (fieldname = 'video', file, filename) => {
console.log(`Upload of '${filename}' started`);
// Create a write stream of the new file
const fstream = fs.createWriteStream(path.join('temp/', filename));
// Pipe it trough
file.pipe(fstream);
// On finish of the upload
fstream.on('close', () => {
console.log(`Upload of '${filename}' finished`);
const childProcess = fork('./processVideo.js', ['message']);
childProcess.on('message', (msg) => res.send(msg));
childProcess.send({ file: fstream, data: req.body });
});
});
});
In ReactJs I am using Axios
const config = {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
},
onUploadProgress: function (progressEvent) {
var percentCompleted = Math.round(
(progressEvent.loaded * 100) / progressEvent.total
);
console.log(percentCompleted);
},
};
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('video', selectedVideo);
formData.append('title', title);
formData.append('description', description);
formData.append('movieCategory', movieCategory);
formData.append('thumbnail', thumbnail);
formData.append('price', price);
formData.append('isPremium', isPremium);
formData.append('quality', quality);
formData.append('language', language);
formData.append('releaseYear', releaseYear);
formData.append('duration', duration);
axios
.post('/api/v1/admin/add/video', formData, config)
.then((res) => {
console.log(res);
alert('File Upload success');
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
alert('File Upload Error');
});
I solved the issue using Multithreaded file uploading. You can read about it in the blog. Here
