All of Deskpro's static application assets (such as Javascript and CSS) exist in the www/assets directory. If you wish to serve static application assets from a CDN for improved performance, you can follow this guide.

Sync assets to your CDN

As described above, all static assets exist in the www/assets directory. You need to sync this directory with your CDN.

For example:

• On your server you might have: /deskpro/www/assets
  • An example file might be: /deskpro/www/assets/12345/web/images/dp-logo-48.png
• Your CDN would therefore have: https://my-cdn.example.com/assets/12345/web/images/dp-logo-48.png

If your CDN provider lets you set caching settings, you can treat these assets as immutable -- i.e. you may set caching headers such that the cache never expires and never needs revalidating.

Deskpro Config

After you have a CDN configured and sync'd, you need to tell Deskpro to actually use your CDN.

Edit config/config.paths.php and append the following lines:

// Modify the URL here to point to your CDN
$cdn_base_url = 'https://my-cdn.example.com/';

$PATHS_CONFIG['asset_paths'] = [
    'legacy_web'    => ['type' => 'url', 'value' => $cdn_base_url.'assets/%DP_ACTIVE_BUILD%/web'],
    'vendor_assets' => ['type' => 'url', 'value' => $cdn_base_url.'assets/%DP_ACTIVE_BUILD%/pub/node_modules'],
    'app_assets'    => ['type' => 'url', 'value' => $cdn_base_url.'assets/%DP_ACTIVE_BUILD%/pub/build'],
    'assets_root'   => ['type' => 'url', 'value' => $cdn_base_url.'assets/%DP_ACTIVE_BUILD%'],
    'appsrc_assets' => ['type' => 'url', 'value' => $cdn_base_url.'assets/%DP_ACTIVE_BUILD%/pub/src'],
];
