Streamlit.file_uploader file size limits?

Hi All,

Can’t get the file_uploader to work with size >200MB, would appreciate some help. Thanks!

Running a Python 3.10.4 env on Ubuntu 20.04, using Streamlit 1.10.0, this is the minimum code:

import streamlit as st
import os

st.config.set_option("server.maxUploadSize", 5000)
st.config.set_option("server.maxMessageSize", 5000)
st.config.set_option("server.enableWebsocketCompression", 'true')

uploaded_file = st.file_uploader('Upload Large File')

if uploaded_file is not None:
    bytes_data = uploaded_file.getvalue()
    st.success('Uploaded Successfully')
    save_uploadedfile(uploaded_file)
    with open(os.path.join("/tmp/",uploadedfile.name),"wb") as f:
        f.write(uploadedfile.getbuffer())
    st.success("Saved File:{} to /tmp/".format(uploadedfile.name))

Executing with:

/opt/python/3.10.4/bin/streamlit run upload_error.py  --logger.level=debug \
   2>/tmp/streamlit/logs.txt 

I can upload a file with size 199MB successfully, but not one with size 201MB.

Files were created with:

fallocate -l 199M oneninenine_mb.txt
fallocate -l 201M twoohone_mb.txt

Output of each attached here:
