Description

We set up a sequenceserver app for public and usually the /tmp dir would ran out of disk storage because of long DNA query sizes resulting in large temporary files.

Therefore two configs are needed: (1) an option that limits the maxium input sequence lengths (2) an option that customize a directory for temporary files.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add two configuration options: one to set a maximum input sequence length limit, and another to specify a custom temporary directory. Implement these in the server configuration file (e.g., config.ru or settings) and update any relevant code that handles file uploads or temporary file creation.
