Describe the bug
Unable to upload attachments larger than 256MB

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Upload a file larger than 256MB to a given page.

Screenshots

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

BookStack v0.25.4
PHP Version: 7.3.3
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Nginx/Docker
Ubuntu 18.04

Additional context
php.ini
post_max_size = 0 upload_max_filesize = 0 memory_limit = 1028M expose_php = off cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

nginx.conf
client_max_body_size 0; client_body_timeout 6666s;

Custom HTML head content
<script> window.uploadTimeout = 6666 * 1000; window.uploadLimit = 600; </script>

Same issue as #1293

Files smaller than 256MB are able to be uploaded just fine and I have the upload limits effectively turned off for nginx and php. Upload timeouts are extended although the file never starts to upload.

Hmm, This is odd. Using the exact same HTML head content line I can get the following:

Are you using a specific docker image? If so I could run the same image and test within.

It's just something off with this specific installation it seems, so I should be able to fix it and I'll close the issue.

Here's my Docker stack https://github.com/Zeigren/docker-swarm-bookstack which on its own is working just fine.
