README

This documentation outlines how to configure different storage disk options for your application. The available storage options are:

  1. Public Storage
  2. MinIO (S3 Compatible Storage)
  3. DigitalOcean Spaces (S3 Compatible Storage)

If STORAGE_DISK is not explicitly defined in the environment file (.env), the system will default to using public storage.

1. Public Storage (Default)

The public storage disk is the default option. If STORAGE_DISK is not set, it will automatically default to public.

Environment Variables for Public Storage

STORAGE_DISK=public
CDN_URL=http://medialibrary.test

Usage

  • The public disk stores media files inside Laravel's storage/app/public directory.
  • It is served through public_path().
  • No additional credentials are required.
  • The CDN URL can be defined to serve media files via a custom domain.

2. MinIO Storage (AWS S3 Compatible)

MinIO is an object storage service that follows the Amazon S3 API.

Environment Variables for MinIO

STORAGE_DISK=minio
AWS_DISK=s3
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=eMpfUmR3LWyn5u7rbdiu7a6ghk
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=MsWrlFgTxvDmmVvVH0d8uPdojdya7xzRD6zK4gA3
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_BUCKET=demo24
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=true
AWS_ENDPOINT=https://bucket.demo.com
CDN_URL=https://cdn.demo.com/demo24

Usage

  • AWS_DISK is set to s3, meaning Laravel will use S3-compatible storage.
  • AWS_ENDPOINT defines the MinIO or S3-compatible storage endpoint.
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY authenticate the storage service.
  • The CDN URL can be configured to serve assets via a custom domain.

3. DigitalOcean Spaces Storage

DigitalOcean Spaces is an object storage service similar to AWS S3.

Environment Variables for DigitalOcean Spaces

STORAGE_DISK=do_spaces
DO_SPACES_KEY=DOdDAHY$SJDIU&h
DO_SPACES_SECRET=zcxqqfygga5gY3rfTN41qIby/kcSFF3kVQk5hhOed
DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT=https://sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com
DO_SPACES_REGION=SGP1
DO_SPACES_BUCKET=s3.demo24
CDN_URL=https://cdn.demo.com

Usage

  • STORAGE_DISK=do_spaces selects DigitalOcean Spaces as the storage backend.
  • DO_SPACES_ENDPOINT specifies the region and endpoint for the storage service.
  • DO_SPACES_KEY and DO_SPACES_SECRET authenticate the connection.
  • The CDN URL can be used to serve files via DigitalOcean’s built-in CDN.

Default Behavior

If STORAGE_DISK is not set in the .env file, the system will use public as the default disk. This ensures that the application remains functional even without a configured storage backend.

Example Default Behavior

# No STORAGE_DISK defined
# The application will default to public storage

Conclusion

  • Use public storage if you want local file storage with Laravel.
  • Use minio storage for S3-compatible services like MinIO or AWS S3.
  • Use do_spaces storage if you are using DigitalOcean Spaces.
  • Always configure the CDN_URL if you plan to serve files via a CDN.
  • If STORAGE_DISK is not defined, public will be used as the default storage option.

This setup ensures a flexible and scalable media storage solution for your Laravel application.
