# Storing Remote Media
|
|
|
|
Akkoma does not store remote/federated media by default. The best way to achieve this is to change Nginx to keep its reverse proxy cache
|
|
for a year and to activate the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` MRF policy in Akkoma which will automatically fetch all media through the proxy
|
|
as soon as the post is received by your instance.
|
|
|
|
## Nginx
|
|
|
|
The following are excerpts from the [suggested nginx config](../../../installation/nginx/akkoma.nginx) that demonstrates the necessary config for the media proxy to work.
|
|
|
|
A `proxy_cache_path` must be defined, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
proxy_cache_path /long/term/storage/path/akkoma-media-cache levels=1:2
|
|
keys_zone=akkoma_media_cache:10m inactive=1y use_temp_path=off;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `proxy_cache_path` must then be configured for use with media proxy paths:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
location ~ ^/(media|proxy) {
|
|
proxy_cache akkoma_media_cache;
|
|
slice 1m;
|
|
proxy_cache_key $host$uri$is_args$args$slice_range;
|
|
proxy_set_header Range $slice_range;
|
|
proxy_cache_valid 200 206 301 304 1h;
|
|
proxy_cache_lock on;
|
|
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
|
|
proxy_buffering on;
|
|
chunked_transfer_encoding on;
|
|
proxy_pass http://phoenix;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure that `proxy_http_version 1.1;` is set for the above `location` block. In the suggested config, this is already the case.
|
|
|
|
## Akkoma

|
|
### File-based Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you're using static file configuration, add the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` to your MRF policies. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
config :pleroma, :mrf,
|
|
policies: [Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Database Configuration
|
|
|
|
In the admin interface, add `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` to the `Policies` option under `Settings` → `MRF`.
