Storage Options

storage_system

Available options: local, s3 Defaults to: local Description: You can store the transformed images in many different ways taking advantage of the Flysystem file system, like AWS S3, Azure, FTP, Dropbox, or whatever, although currently the only two easy options are local (the default) and s3 to use an AWS S3 bucket.

Using AWS S3 as Storage Provider

in parameters.yml change the storage_system option from local to s3, and fill in the aws_s3 options :

storage_system: s3

  access_id: "s3-access-id"
  secret_key: "s3-secret-id"
  region: "s3-region"
  bucket_name: "s3-bucket-name"
  path_prefix: "s3-path-prefix" # optional
  endpoint: "https://%s.s3.%s.amazonaws.com/" # optional for third party S3 compatible services, the format is https://<bucket-name>.s3.<region>.amazonaws.com/ 
  visibility: "PRIVATE" # options: PUBLIC or PRIVATE

Abstract storage with Flysystem

Storage files based on Flysystem which is a filesystem abstraction allows you to easily swap out a local filesystem for a remote one. Technical debt is reduced as is the chance of vendor lock-in.

Default storage is Local, but you can use other Adapters like AWS S3, Azure, FTP, Dropbox, ...

Currently, only the local and S3 are implemented as Storage Provider in Flyimg application, but you can add your specific one easily in src/Core/Provider/StorageProvider.php
