​
Use as an origin

​
Use object storage

1. Go to the CDN tab and press Create CDN resource.

2. Select which Object Storage you want to use as a content source: public or private - and follow the instructions.

​
Use SFTP storage

Go to the CDN tab and press Create CDN resource.

To specify the Origin Source, use the following schema:

<storage name>.<hostname>

Both name and hostname can be found on the Storage tab > Storages > Details.

If your storage name is 12345-test and your hostname is ams.origin.gcdn.co, you should specify 12345-test.ams.origin.gcdn.co as the Origin Source. Read more about personal domain setup in the “Create and set a custom domain for the content delivery via CDN” guide.

​
Request content from CDN

​
Object storage is the origin

An addressing scheme where you specify the bucket at the beginning <bucket-name>.<location>.cloud.gcore.lu allows you to increase the security of your CDN usage because you hide the Hostname of your repository.

Use the following schema to request uploaded files:

http(s)://<Custom domain>/<folder*>/<file>

*If the folder was created in the bucket. If files were added to the root of the bucket - specify file names.

For example, you’ve:

  • used a bucket mybucket, S3 storage in the Luxembourg location s-ed1.cloud.gcore.lu
  • created a CDN resource for the storage with the Custom domain with cdn.example.com.

To request file picture.png, which was uploaded into the bucket, from CDN use the following URL:

http://cdn.example.com/picture.png

Note : By default, created buckets and all the stored files in buckets are private. To make a file public, read the article on ACL and policy or official documentation.

​
SFTP storage is the origin

Upload your files to the htdocs directory, but don’t specify the directory when requesting the content.

Path to the uploaded file in the storage:

sftp://12345-test@ams.origin.gcdn.co:2200/export/home/12345-test/htdocs/picture.png

If the CDN Custom domain is cdn.example.com, the URL to request the file from CDN will be:

http://cdn.example.com/picture.png
