Use online image to my page

[kahosense]

I uploaded all my photos to a media files server. And use the link to my pages. But when I create the public pages. It downloaded all the photos to my root folder locally.

Can I directly use online photos instead of downloading them locally. Because the hugo file size can be reduced and the update speed can be accelerated.

Hi, No, it's not possible for the theme. Please see this comment; https://github.com/boratanrikulu/eternity/issues/32#issuecomment-1466541237

If image is not changed, Hugo doesn't create it again, it will be cached. So It doesn't upload it for every deployment. It will be deployed only 1 time, if the image is not changed. I don't see any point to use 3rd link as an image source. The theme creates thumbnails, makes resizes.

Ok, I got it. Because my image is not only used in my Hugo blog. The 3rd link is convenient for use on different platforms without repeated uploads.

As you said, the image didn't create again. but every time I "hugo" to publish, all the image files will reprocess again. The "modified time" of the file will be updated. Because I use the script to update my blog files, and it depends on the file's ”modified time.” And then, every time I update my blog, it will upload all the image files again.

I don't think this is correct. How do you host your website?

Sorry for my bad English.

I mean, all my image files' "modified time" in the "images" folder will update when I "Hugo" every time, except the thumbnails that have been generated.

Like when I "hugo" at 10:07, and all the files updated at 10:07, I don't know if it was normal.
