It saves you time and disk space by sending requests to your development environment's files directory to the production environment and making a copy of the production file in your development site. You should not need to enable this plugin in production. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later. Installation ------------ [](#installation) To install the plugin, follow these instructions. 1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project: ``` cd /path/to/project ``` 2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin: ``` composer require liftov/craft-stage-file-proxy ``` 3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Stage File Proxy. Stage File Proxy Overview ------------------------- [](#stage-file-proxy-overview) During development, when working with multiple developers on the same project, it can be very cumbersome and time consuming to have to transfer uploaded files between development environments. With this plugin you only need to keep one remote environment up-to-date, like a staging server and every local environment will be updated. And only with the files needed. In case of updates on a website in production, that site can be used as the source for all the assets. Again the locale development environment will only retrieve the files necessary. This is especially useful for large sites with huge numbers of files. The plugin idea is based in the Drupal Module 'Stage File Proxy' ([https://www.drupal.org/project/stage\_file\_proxy](https://www.drupal.org/project/stage_file_proxy)). Although except for the description, non of the code is used. Configuring Stage File Proxy ---------------------------- [](#configuring-stage-file-proxy) Add the following line to your local .env file: ``` STAGE_FILE_PROXY_REMOTE="http://remote.site.url/" ``` Optionally add the following line if your files don't live in the "files" folder ``` STAGE_FILE_PROXY_BASE_FOLDER="custom/subfolder" ``` Using Stage File Proxy ---------------------- [](#using-stage-file-proxy) The plugin works behind the scenes so there is no need to do anything. It will check the local file base for the file and if it can't be found, downloads it from the remote source. Since this happens before any other actions are taken with the file, this also works well together with Image Transform and plugins like Imager.
