XF 2.1 AWS S3 DigitalOceans Spaces CDN

[Zentro]

Hi,

We've recently transferred all attachments to DO Spaces. Everything worked out fine however the downloads are painfully slow. I tried setting the endpoint to the CDN endpoint (nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com -> nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com) but found it doesn't work with a 403 error on XF while a direct download via URL works perfectly fine.

This tutorial was followed during setup.

If I'm not wrong, the attachments were fetched via PHP, CDN will not work for those file in /internal-data folder. You can use CDN for data folder which store avatars, thumbnail...

$config['externalDataUrl'] = function($externalPath, $canonical)
{
    return 'https://xftest.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/data/' . $externalPath;
};

And even with CDN enable, it still much slower than attachments save on your server.

same. cdn url only works for the data folder. though i have not facing any speed problems because my forum is hosted on DO as well and overall performance is good. if you use a cloudflare like solution, you can use DO's custom domain feature for CDN and route the traffic through cloudflare's servers.
