Defaulting to discourse.org CDN for avatars is a privacy and security risk

Eric, I am open to working with you on making proxy a default.

Can you do a local Discourse install, then enter your container and mess around with nginx conf until it proxies correctly, once you get it going paste the nginx config section here and I can look at integrating it. It will take a few months to move to local proxy by default cause everyone needs to do a rebuild to get nginx changes.

BTW, for everyone playing along at home, I’ve created this pull request to implement avatar proxying. Testing would be appreciated; success/failure comments on the PR preferred.

Thank you, I really appreciate you being open to this.

And thank you @mpalmer for beating me to it. :smile: I’ll move my comments over there.
