About proxing images

Proxing image is done to allow hiding the server, but it causes higher resource usage, so it is recommended to disable it, if possible.

The variable used to define, if the proxy is used is called IMAGES_USE_PROXY. By default its enabled to allow for a fast initial deployment and maximum support.

If you wish to disable it, there are a few things to notice:

  • If your API host is already behind publically accessable reverse proxy (f.E. API_HOST="https://mete.domain.space"), just disabling the proxy should work just fine.
  • If you only proxied images, while the API itself is hidden (f.E. in a docker network), you can set the public host over the variable API_PUBLIC_HOST to the domain you proxied the images to. It will then use that domain instead of the normal API_HOST. If you wish to use this method, see the server documentation
