	# Storing Remote Media

	Pleroma 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 Pleroma which will automatically fetch all media through the proxy
	as soon as the post is received by your instance.

	## Nginx

	```
	proxy_cache_path /long/term/storage/path/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2
	keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m inactive=1y use_temp_path=off;

	location ~ ^/(media\|proxy) {
	proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
	slice 1m;
	proxy_cache_key $host$uri$is_args$args$slice_range;
	proxy_set_header Range $slice_range;
	proxy_http_version 1.1;
	proxy_cache_valid 206 301 302 304 1h;
	proxy_cache_valid 200 1y;
	proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating;
	proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
	proxy_buffering on;
	chunked_transfer_encoding on;
	proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
	proxy_hide_header Cache-Control Expires;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
	}
	```

	## Pleroma

	Add to your `prod.secret.exs`:

	```
	config :pleroma, :mrf,
	policies: [Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy]
	```
