Importing Large Project - NGINX 413 Request Entity too Large

Summary

When trying to execute the GPT data generator tool, the tool attempts to import a project of size 743M. This causes the NGINX proxy to 413 with request entity too large. Manually importing the project gives the same result.

I would be interested in learning the proper way to increase the nginx proxy body limit via the helm chart values.yaml or some other method.

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to import a large exported GitLab project.

Configuration used

Default helm chart installation.

Current behavior

413 from NGINX

Expected behavior

Successful project import.

Versions
