I’m not able to limit the download speed on shared links with nginx.
I added limit_rate 900k; in my server block but I’m still able to download at 60MB/s. I restart nginx of course.
Any solution?
Thanks.
Outside just in a folder this limitation works?
Yes it works outside Nextcloud, I created a test folder and added this config to my server block (below the Nextcloud config) I was limited to 50Kb/s.
location /test/ {
limit_rate 50k;
}
Not sure why It’s not working for Nextcloud downloads? Maybe I’m adding it in the wrong location?
Can you post the config?
I added the rule at the end. (Download links contain /download/ in the URL)

# Specify how to handle directories -- specifying `/index.php$request_uri`
# here as the fallback means that Nginx always exhibits the desired behaviour

# `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$request_uri`

For me the download links start with:
remote.php/webdav/...
or download and check the logfile for the exact URL (if you have something with /download, there is perhaps a redirect and there it is not limited).
The download link don’t start with /remote.php/ on publicly shared links. Only in the files manager.
I tried with /remote.php/ but NC completely ignore my nginx rule.
Sorry, I missed the part with the shared link. That is for my setup for example:
GET /s/3qHR4LTJiSdEAG4/download/Location%20File.zip HTTP/2
The bandwidth limit is working for you? Because for me NC completely ignore it no matter where I add it.
