Android App Keeps (trying) to upload the same file over and over about immich

Are you connecting to the server directly via ip:port when attempting to upload this file?

No, I'm using a cloudflare tunnel to my home server.

While investigating, I found out cloudflare has a upload size limit for tunnels, didn't know that.

I also don't care that it doesn't work over the internet as long as it works on my local network; I'm currently setting up a custom DNS hostname on my router (and all the nginx ssl and file limit stuff) to connect directly to the server when I'm at home. Will update this if this solves the problem.

Doing the above solved my issue. It seems that cloudflare tunnel does something weird when the file is >100mb, looks like a time out, but takes about 3 minutes to do so.

To anyone who wants to replicate this, my current setup is:

WAN access: photos.mydomain.com -> cloudflare tunnel -> docker instance -> immich
LAN access: photos.mydomain.com -> fixed DNS hostname on the router pointing to my server LAN IP -> nginx (with let's encrypt ssl using cloudflare dns api) -> docker instance -> immich

with this, internet backup of large files fails, but as soon as I reach my home network (or as soon as DNS caches clears out), it works again.
