I'm not expecting to be swamped with users and so I've decided to go live with having everything store twice for now because I've a fair bit of unused disk space right now. If I end up getting a load of active users then I may need to manually start deleting stuff from local storage until this is fixed, but hopefully it'll be fixed before then!

@jdaviescoates I'm stuck on the URL still being munged with half local and half s3 with the profile pic...

Ah, I think removing/ commenting out AWS_URL might fix that.

Can't remember exactly but I had it and then later after doing something, I didn't.

I think perhaps it was that, or it that plus changing FILESYSTEM_DRIVER from s3 to local.

@jdaviescoates filesystem to local did it!

Another weird thing about the app is that if you upload from web, it's serving the image from the Server even though both locations has it.
if you upload from the app, it'll serve from s3.

then when you run php artisan cache:clear it'll get fixed.

Wonder if it'll auto switch to s3 without touching.

Since it's storing images on both locations, will it like auto delete from server?

I think it's supposed to do that after 12 hours or something , but I've not checked properly to see if that is indeed the case .

Hello, is there any update/guidance from the Cloudron team on this? As in the original topic posted- profile images not properly working if using S3 as storage?

Anyone else able to figure anything else out with the profile avatar and using S3 compatible storage?

If I'm understanding this correctly (and I could be wrong), this issue was addressed by this commit back in July 2022. And was bundled into the v0.11.4 release, which was made available in Oct 2022.

@gh0stface so this is what I've setup;

## S3 Storage
PF_ENABLE_CLOUD=true
FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=local
FILESYSTEM_CLOUD=s3
PF_LOCAL_AVATAR_TO_CLOUD=true
MEDIA_DELETE_LOCAL_AFTER_CLOUD=true
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=xxx
AWS_BUCKET=mediapixelfedsg
AWS_URL=https://media.pixelfed.sg
AWS_ENDPOINT=https://xxx.backblazeb2.com
#AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=false

and it works.
