Git-lfs api error with EOF

Hi everyone,
I am settign up a local gitlab server in a VM and at the moment I cannot use letsencrypt and so setting HTTPS was not possible. I enabled git-lfs but getting error while trying to push Lfs tracked files.

here is my lfs error:

It is basically throwing an git-lfs api error with EOF.
At first, I thought it might be problem with HTTPS requirement, and I tried to setup HTTP with a self signed certificate. However, It didn’t help.

Any idea, how to fix this issue?

Cheers,
M
