Tapao I'm interested in this also. There appears to be a CDN section in fof/upload although this is sparse in the sense that there is only one field.

The CDN setting in fof/upload allows you to specify a custom prefix/hostname to use in front of the file URLs instead of the default.

The location of the file is still defined by the adapter you selected.

For example you can use the local adapter, but specify a CDN URL so that the files are accessed via a second domain name that points to the same server.

Or with S3, the CDN URL can be used to take advantage of an S3 alias or Cloudfront URL you might have connected with your bucket.

If you want to host files on a hosting not supported by any adapter, you can create your own adapter following the documentation on the GitHub repo.

clarkwinkelmann For example you can use the local adapter, but specify a CDN URL so that the files are accessed via a second domain name that points to the same server.

So if I understand this correctly, I could create a storage zone, and call it cdn.mydomain.com, and have it pull the image from there (which of course would need to be uploaded first for all this to work)?

[deleted] I don't 100% understand so I'm not sure.

I believe the reason that setting was implemented was to customize the S3 public bucket URL. All other use cases are theoretical since I've not heard of anyone using them.

Another use case I can think of would be to use a custom domain for the local storage in order to apply different settings (via Cloudflare or other proxy-based CDN for example) or just to use more domains and have more simultaneous requests.

Now technically, you could also have your local folder set up as a remote mount, and use the CDN setting to configure the public URL of that other remote file server.

Edit: Something worth noting is that (I believe) you cannot use multiple adapters at once when the CDN setting is set, since it will apply to all adapters.
