Excluded files

All files or folder beginning with a "." is automatically excluded (e.g. .gitignore) and will not be uploaded.

Advanced

You may also override other options if you like (handy for testing)

  • --key-filename - JSON key file used to authenticate with GCP. If not set CDN_UPLOADER_CREDENTIALS environment variable is used.
  • --bucket-name - GCS bucket to use.
  • --project-id - GCS projectId.

You can also use environment variables for these options, just use the prefix CDN_UPLOADER_.

Where does my files end up?

The files uploaded to GCS is made available on the public GCS hosting at:

https://storage.googleapis.com/<bucket-name>/<app-prefix>/<assetName>

This is again exposed by our CDN at:

https://static.finncdn.no/_c/<app-prefix>/<assetName>

Cache time?

All files uploaded to CDN is configured with Cache-Control: public, max-age=2592000, meaning that clients may cache the assets for up to 30 days.
