Solya stores uploaded files (e.g. product images) through a small storage abstraction with two backends.

​
Backends

The backend is selected by the STORAGE_TYPE environment variable.

​
Configuration

Local:
  • STORAGE_LOCAL_PATH — filesystem directory (default public/uploads).
  • STORAGE_LOCAL_URL — public URL prefix (default /uploads).
S3 (AWS or Scaleway):
  • S3_BUCKET_NAME — the bucket.
  • AWS_REGION — the region.
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY — credentials (optional; an IAM role is used if omitted).
  • S3_ENDPOINT — custom endpoint for S3-compatible providers (e.g. Scaleway).

​
Access via signed URLs

Files are stored privately. The app serves them through pre-signed URLs generated on read, with a default expiry of one hour. Local storage returns direct URLs (no expiry). A fresh signature is produced each time, so signed URLs are not cached.
Object keys are organized per organization, keeping each tenant’s files separated. The storage layer is plain file I/O; any image processing happens upstream in the upload handlers.
