Purchase CDN connection for attachments (Amazon AWS, Google Cloud)
FAQ
What are the first steps after installing the plugin?
After installation you should search for the plugin options. Put your access data for your preferred CDN provider there and select it. If you have many attachments on your site you should upload those in the ACP via Management > Rebuild Data -> Upload attachments to CDN. This may take some minutes to hours. It is recommended to execute this step via CLI:
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\CDNAttachmentsRebuildDataWorker
(see CLI Import). This step can be executed multiple times without any problems.
Do the CDNs cost anything?
Most CDNs like Amazon AWS and Google Cloud have a free contingent that smaller sites can use. If your site is larger and has many views, the CDNs will usually cost something. Depositing a valid credit card is always necessary to use the service.
Can other CDNs be used in addition to AWS and Google Cloud?
Individual, chargeable programming for other CDNs can be requested from me (https://cwalz.de/contact/?l=2).
Do I have to adapt my data protection regulations?
If you deliver your file attachments and pictures via a CDN, it is necessary to adapt the data protection regulations. Further information can be found here:

Powerful plugin but with more potential
Got it working after some trial and error in the Google Cloud Console
A bit disappointed that it doesn't upload files from Filebase to the storage. You can work around this by uploading attachments instead of files, but then you don't have the version-feature.
Would love to see this plugin evolve and that it get a function to handle files uploaded to the filebase.
Some documentation/tutorial for setting up the storage on AWS or Google would be much appreciated.Haven't found this plugin on darkwood.design website, so I hope it doesn't get abandoned. Btw, that website and especially the support page should be translated into english.

We have already planned to translate our website into english.
Have fun with our plugins.

Tolles Plugin
Hatze zwar Anfangs Probleme mit der Installation des Plugins, was aber glaube an meinem Server liegt, aber am Ende funktionierte alles wie versprochen.
Sämtliche Forenanhänge liegen nun auf dem S3 und entlasten somit den Server. Für die User sind die Zugriffe auf das Forum jetzt außerdem etwas schneller geworden.
Wenn jetzt noch das automatische Löschen von Attachments auf dem Server mit dem Forum, nach dem Upload auf das CDN hinzugefügt wird, dann ist es perfekt.

Tolles Plugin
Wir setzen das Plugin bereits seit der Beta-Version ein und möchten auch nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Es spart uns sehr viel Traffic (wir reden hier von mehreren GigaByte) bei monatlichen Kosten von weniger als einem Euro (AWS S3).
Einziges Problem ist die wohl umständliche Einrichtung der CDN-Anbieter. Das liegt aber nicht an dem Plugin und wer sich das nicht zutraut, kann sicherlich auch bei Christopher Walz nach Hilfe fragen.
