Hello,
at the end I could configure in my DEV enviroment, an external storage to use DATA and INTERNAL_DATA, in XF, using B2 (backblaze) cloud storage, that is compatible with S3 API. So following the guide for S3 will be quite easy.
All works fine.
Now, my question is if for your expience would be better configure XF to use external cloud storage (B2) or not, considering that :
- Actually I don't have space problems in my share hosting. ( 85% space free)
- My community forum (in production) is based overall on images and a few videos (I set a limit actually of 10/15 MB for video attachment)
- I use a CDN (bunnycdn) but as you know, CDN can cache only attachments in DATA, thumbnails and avatars, not INTERNAL_DATA: full images size.
My thought, maybe wrong, is that loading images (and some videos) hosted in external storage (B2 in my case) is much better than local storage. (considering that is a share host).
I think that server will be less stressed. ( but for other hand, maybe there are others problems...I don't know)
Any hints or comments will be appreciated
