Hi, I’m trying to upload a previously trained MedCAT CDB file, that has the unsupervised pretrained embeddings from a large amount of text through the Django website. Unfortunately, I’m not able to upload the large file and I keep getting an timeout error due the file size. Please advise on if there’s another way of uploading a CDB file to the Django site. I believe it also needs to be indexed by solr, is that correct? Thank you!

Hi, our CDB file was just over, so we used the API to upload with python `requests` and that worked fine! Thanks!

ah sorry - @vsocrates - I’ve bumped this to 10G now. Will be available in the next release.
