Ability to serve images from database or s3?

[neilferreira]

Hi,

I've got a setup where I cannot rely on user uploaded images being on disk, users upload images and I'm storing the file data and mimetype in the database, resizing them and then passing them along to s3.

Have you considered a similar approach?

Cheers

there is no solution for this in the Bundle yet .. but you should be able to implement this using a custom CacheResolver .. if you implement this .. please consider contributing the code back.

it might be a solution to simply integrate https://github.com/KnpLabs/Gaufrette

btw, using the stream wrapper available in Gaufrette, it should be fairly transparent for Imagine: simply configure it to use gaufrette://foo/ as directory for the images

You should be serving images from CloudFront, not S3, and doing so using a custom origin:

Makes the whole thing much simpler.

I've started working on this, I've created a new custom loader to load from the database and will be working on a Gaufrette powered resolver next.

feel free to open a PR even if its not finished in case you want us to give you some feedback already.

and btw, you don't need to wait for the gaufrette loader to submit the database one. It is even better to keep them in separate PRs to ease review

I've added a pull request #59, but I'm not sure how to reference it here.

[lsmith77]

@neilferreira just write #59 and it will reference it on both ends. thx for the PR .. will check it out today.
