I want to restrict the maximum artifact size that can be pushed to NXRM OSS 3.x. Is there a way to do this?

As far as I know nothing is built-in to nxrm. As you can imagine some formats such as Docker routinely use very large image sizes. I’d recommend using an http proxy to block large uploads (for example you could use the `client_max_body_size` directive in `nginx`).
