parallel-fs-ops.template.yml (2.8 KB) Let’s talk about a scaling problem that becomes painfully obvious once a Discourse site accumulates a large upload library. What used to take minutes for a chown command to run across a huge uploads directory now takes seconds! Background Discourse rebuilds c…

Yup. But not everyone wants to add that complexity. I kind of am using S3/R2/B2 via using JuiceFS. That way it mounts locally like a real file system, and no worries. And then Cloudflare caches the assets that way automagicallly.
