# Snippets
|
|
|
|
DETAILS:
|
|
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
|
|
**Offering:** Self-managed
|
|
|
|
You can configure a maximum size for a snippet to prevent abuse.
|
|
The default limit is 52428800 bytes (50 MB).
|
|
The limit is applied when a snippet is created or updated.
|
|
The limit does not affect existing snippets unless they are updated and their
|
|
content changes.
|
|
|
|
## Configure the snippet size limit
|
|
|
|
To configure the snippet size limit, you can use the Rails console
|
|
or the [Application settings API](../../api/settings.md).
|
|
|
|
The limit **must** be in bytes.
|
|
|
|
This setting is not available in the [Admin Area settings](../settings/index.md).
|
|
|
|
### Use the Rails console
|
|
|
|
To configure this setting through the Rails console:
|
|
|
|
1. [Start the Rails console](../operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session).
|
|
1. Update the snippets maximum file size:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
ApplicationSetting.first.update!(snippet_size_limit: 50.megabytes)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To retrieve the current value, start the Rails console and run:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
Gitlab::CurrentSettings.snippet_size_limit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Use the API
|
|
|
|
To set the limit by using the Application Settings API
|
|
(similar to [updating any other setting](../../api/settings.md#change-application-settings)),
|
|
use this command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --request PUT \
|
|
--header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"
|
|
--url "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/settings?snippet_size_limit=52428800"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use the API to [retrieve the current value](../../api/settings.md#get-current-application-settings).
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
|
|
--url "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/application/settings"
|
|
```
