Nextcloud File Drop limit

Apparently Apache introduced a 1GB limit. See this issue:

Apache images built after ~mid June 2022 introduce 1GB upload limit

After my last docker image update I suddenly saw upload failures for very large …files, even though I hadn't changed any configuration, and the nextcloud docker build also has no related configuration changes. I finally tracked the problem down to a change in Apache default configuration. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start with nextcloud apache docker image built before June 9, 2022 2. Check included Apache version (is 2.4.53) 3. Create large testfile (`dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=1025`) 4. Create upload share in nextcloud 5. `curl -X PUT -H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" -T testfile http://<shareid>:<sharepass>@<host>/public.php/webdav/testfile` 6. Update docker image to newest version (Apache is now 2.4.54) 7. `curl -X PUT -H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" -T testfile http://<shareid>:<sharepass>@<host>/public.php/webdav/testfile2` Actual result: Step 5 works, Step 7 doesn't work. A smaller testfile (`dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=1024`) will still work with the new image. Root cause: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/mod/core.html#limitrequestbody has changed default value in Apache version 2.4.53 from 0 (unlimited) to 1073741824. Note: This also means the the various documentation entries about increasing PHP_UPLOAD_LIMIT etc. don't apply. IMHO this is a regression, and the apache nextcloud docker image should change the builtin Apache configuration back to the old value of 0 (unlimited).
