Overview -------- [](#overview) **MGH\\DevMediaDownloader** streamlines development and testing workflows by automatically downloading missing media files (such as product images) from a remote Magento instance. This module is designed for development, staging, or CI environments where the full media library is not available locally, but is accessible from a production or reference server. Problem & Solution ---------------------- [](#problem--solution) Working with a local development environment often means missing large media files. Rather than synchronizing entire media folders, this module intelligently fetches media assets on-demand from your remote instance, improving both developer experience and CI/CD efficiency. ### How It Works [](#how-it-works) When a media file (e.g., an image in `/pub/media/`) is requested and not found locally: 1. The module intercepts the request 2. Attempts to fetch the file from a configured remote base URL 3. If successful, saves it locally for future requests 4. Serves the file as if it were present from the start ### Workflow Diagram [](#workflow-diagram) ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Request for Media File │ │ (e.g., /pub/media/catalog/product/...) │ └─────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────┐ │ File exists locally? │ └─────────────────────────────┘ │ │ YES│ │NO │ │ │ ┌────▼────────────────────────────┐ │ │ Module enabled & in dev mode? │ │ └────────┬────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ NO│ → Serve 404 or default │ │ │ YES│ │ ┌───────▼──────────────────────┐ │ │ Build remote URL candidates │ │ │ (handle cache paths, etc.) │ │ └───────┬──────────────────────┘ │ │ │ ┌───────▼──────────────────────┐ │ │ Try to download from remote │ │ │ (validate image type, etc.) │ │ └───────┬──────────────────────┘ │ │ │ ┌─────┴──────┐ │ SUCCESS FAIL │ │ │ │ ┌───▼──────┐ └──→ Log error, serve 404 │ │ Save file│ │ │ locally │ │ └───┬──────┘ │ │ └────┬───┘ │ ▼ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ Serve file to client│ └──────────────────────┘ ``` Key Features ------------ [](#key-features) - **Seamless on-demand downloading** of missing media files from a remote Magento instance - **Intelligent caching** - once downloaded, files are stored locally for fast retrieval - **Supports Magento's product image cache** structure and fallback logic - **Safe downloads** - only downloads valid image files (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, avif, svg) - **Developer-mode only** - automatically disabled in production environments - **Robust error handling** with comprehensive debug logging - **Configurable remote base URL** - point to any Magento instance (support for multi-website setups) - **Compatible with Fastly CDN** - includes dedicated plugin for Adobe Commerce with Fastly Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Option 1: Via Composer (Recommended) [](#option-1-via-composer-recommended) ``` composer require mgh-tech/magento2-dev-media-downloader bin/magento setup:upgrade ``` ### Option 2: Manual Installation [](#option-2-manual-installation) 1.
