Cloudflare Images vs Cloudflare R2 for storing & serving images and attachments?

[aana]

Thanks @M@rc,

how did you know the number of read operations each months, the write should be the number of new attachments + avatars.

I didn't. I just gave it a try. It was either that or pay a significantly higher price for more server storage space.

sorry it's an old topic but i just begin to use your add on and i have some questions before to try R2.

• R2 will host your image, so your server will not anymore do it. How can you recover them if you want to stop using R2 ? How can you manage them ?

You can move them to your own server (just like you can move them to R2). Not sure what you mean by "manage"... don't think there's anything you really need to do to manage anything.

• For a Xenforo using more than 400Go of data, is it not too expensive ?

$5.85/month for storage... maybe nothing for operations, but depends on your setup and if you are caching things. See:

R2 Calculator

r2-calculator.cloudflare.com

You get 1,000,000 write operations per month for free (more or less people uploading attachments/avatars), and you get 10,000,000 read operations per month for free (for things like avatars and other public data), you can use edge caching... so a "read" is only counted when it's not already in the edge cache. Meaning you can end up doing billions of real-world reads per month for free if you do it properly.

• If you migrate the data to R2 using the command in your add on, it will automaticaly delete them from your server?

No.

• Is your command migrating all data or just the one you selected, like if you only enable xfmg, will it migrate only xfmg data ?

Only what you choose.

EDIT: on the screenshoot about R2, i saw that we need to setup an external domain, but it's not anymore in your addon,. is it still needed ?

Not sure what you mean.

EDIT2: xfmg seem7s to be on data/ not in internal_data

Yep.

Thanks

Really interesting.

What is the safest method to transfert 400Go of data ?

 

[digitalpoint]

That’s normal… you wouldn’t want internal data to be exposed on a public domain. It’s internal data.

 

[aana]

yeah i saw that after, sorry!

 

[digitalpoint]

Purge your Cloudflare cache?
