How to use a Custom Domain Name for the CDN

6 replies
Last updated: Oct 20, 2020
Hey! I am wondering if I can set a custom domain name for the CDN instead of cdn.sanity.io ? Or do I need to use another CDN and a custom Sanity CMS Asset source to support this?

It’s available on an enterprise plan. Or you just reverse proxy it behind a cdn.

Right, I am using the Advanced plan.Reverse proxy it would work? Wouldn't the links to the asset from GraphQL point to Sanity's CDN?

Unsure about the Graphql angle of it. The
user U
/image-url supports a 
spec.baseUrl

https://github.com/sanity-io/image-url/blob/master/src/urlForImage.ts#L81 - not sure how that could work for you

Do other assets use the same method? I am hosting PDFs.

You could solve this with a simple redirect• Get the asset url
• Extract the filename 
const fileName = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1)
• In links you use something like 
<https://your-domain.com/files/${fileName}>
• Redirect 
/files/*
to 
<https://cdn.sanity.io/files/[your-project-id]/[your-dataset-name]/:splat>
on the server
