Integrating Payload CMS Media Library with BunnyCDN

[RajeshKumarpiacademyweb10]

Hey everyone, I'm working on integrating Payload CMS Media Library with BunnyCDN for media storage and delivery. I have a few questions regarding the best approach:

Storage Configuration: What's the best way to configure Payload CMS to store media files directly on BunnyCDN Storage? Should I use a custom upload adapter or handle this via Bunny’s API?

Direct Uploads: Can I set up direct uploads from the CMS to BunnyCDN without routing files through the server? If so, any recommended way to do this efficiently?

Permissions & Security: Any best practices for securing media files when using BunnyCDN with Payload CMS?

Would love to hear from anyone who's done something similar or has insights! Thanks in advance. 🙌

I read that BunnyCDN s3 compatible is, so you can use the @payloadcms/plugin-cloud-storage plugin.

You want images/media that are fully public to load from the CDN.
Upload it with the s3Adapter with the acl on 'public-read'
Overwrite the image URL in the config with the generateFileURL property, this can look like:

(file) => {
    if (!file.filename) {
        return
    }
    return `${process.env.S3_ENDPOINT_PUBLIC}/${process.env.S3_BUCKET}/${file.prefix}/${file.filename}`
};

Media that has access control should go through payload.
Upload it with the s3Adapter with the acl on 'private',
