+## PHP upload tuning
+Apache uses `mod_php` (not FPM). Limits raised from distro defaults in both `/etc/php/8.4/apache2/php.ini` and `/etc/php/8.4/cli/php.ini` (the latter so `occ`/cron honor the same):
+
+| key | value |
+|---|---|
+| `upload_max_filesize` | `16G` |
+| `post_max_size` | `16G` |
+| `memory_limit` | `512M` |
+| `max_execution_time` | `3600` |
+| `max_input_time` | `3600` |
+| `output_buffering` | `0` |
+
+Reload Apache after edits: `systemctl reload apache2`. Caddy in front (`cloud.hubris.network`) imposes no body-size limit, so these are the effective ceiling.

 ## Changelog
 
+### 2026-05-10 — PHP upload limits raised
+Apache + CLI php.ini bumped from distro defaults (`upload_max_filesize=2M`, `post_max_size=8M`, `memory_limit=128M`, `max_execution_time=30`) to NC-recommended (`16G/16G/512M/3600`). Backups at `/etc/php/8.4/{apache2,cli}/php.ini.bak-20260510-*`. Was causing slow/failing uploads via web UI.
