# Storing Remote Media
Akkoma does not store remote/federated media by default. The best way to achieve this is to change Nginx to keep its reverse proxy cache
for a year and to activate the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` MRF policy in Akkoma which will automatically fetch all media through the proxy
as soon as the post is received by your instance.
## Nginx
The following are excerpts from the [suggested nginx config](../../../installation/nginx/akkoma.nginx) that demonstrates the necessary config for the media proxy to work.
A `proxy_cache_path` must be defined, for example:
```
proxy_cache_path /long/term/storage/path/akkoma-media-cache levels=1:2
keys_zone=akkoma_media_cache:10m inactive=1y use_temp_path=off;
```
The `proxy_cache_path` must then be configured for use with media proxy paths:
```
location ~ ^/(media|proxy) {
proxy_cache akkoma_media_cache;
slice 1m;
proxy_cache_key $host$uri$is_args$args$slice_range;
proxy_set_header Range $slice_range;
proxy_cache_valid 200 206 301 304 1h;
proxy_cache_lock on;
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
proxy_buffering on;
chunked_transfer_encoding on;
proxy_pass http://phoenix;
}
}
```
Ensure that `proxy_http_version 1.1;` is set for the above `location` block. In the suggested config, this is already the case.
## Akkoma
### File-based Configuration
If you're using static file configuration, add the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` to your MRF policies. For example:
```
config :pleroma, :mrf,
policies: [Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy]
```
### Database Configuration
In the admin interface, add `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` to the `Policies` option under `Settings` → `MRF`.
