Catalog/Product Image Upload

[Jason RJ]

Hi Folks,

I've been looking at production setup for OFBiz and the one issue I'm
getting stuck with is how to get uploaded catalog/product images
distributed across all the servers in a LB/HA setup. I've looked at
rsync, lsyncd, csync2, NFS, GlusterFS. I'm just wondering if anyone has
any experience with any of these in production and can offer a
recommendation? Maybe I'm missing a trick and there's a much easier way
to get OFBiz to push files to all servers, and avoid a
single-point-of-failure.

Many thanks in advance.

Jason

I think you are looking for the ofbizContentUrl Freemarker macro. The idea is to put the static resources on a "content server" to get the resources
from this "unique" server. Of course having LB/HA and rather a cluster for the "content server" is recommended...

Thanks Jacques, I had looked at that briefly, but I assumed the uploads
still go to one of the OFBiz servers, so really the images need uploaded
separately to the content server instead?

Thanks I appreciate your quick response.

Yes indeed. AFAIK there are no means for that OOTB. This part you need to adapt to your specific needs.

Please refer catalog.proerties file to mange the image server path.
I think image.server.path (catalog.properties) works for you.

You can also set the content server path to serve content from external server at url.properties (content.url.prefix.secure and content.url.prefix.standard)


Thanks & Regards
