  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to work on code or configuration changes to your Drupal site in a non-production environment, without having to copy over all the images and other content files? There’s a module for that.
  • Module name/project name:
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Jan 2011 by netaustin, by recent releases are by Stephen Mustgrave, who listeners will probably recognize from the Needs Review initiative, among his many other Drupal contributions
    • Versions available: 7.x-1.10, 3.0.0-alpha2, and 3.1.0, the last of which works with Drupal 10.3 and 11
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained
    • Security coverage
    • Test coverage
    • Documentation - not a lot, but it has been the subject of numerous blog posts over the years
    • Number of open issues: 15 open issues, 2 of which are bugs against the current branch
  • Usage stats:
    • 16,710 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • Once you have Stage File Proxy site up on your non-production site, when the environment gets a request for a content file it doesn’t have like an image, it will query the production site to create a local copy
    • It also has a mode where those requests are served 301 redirects to their location on the production server, so no files are ever copied
    • Once you have the module installed, you can set the origin website URL using the admin UI, using a drush variable-set command, or you can add a line to your settings.php file.
    • Also, if you have simple HTTP authentication set up on the site you want to pull from (for example using the Shield module), you can add URL-encoded versions of the username and password to the origin URL, and the module will still be able to copy down the files.
    • This module was previously covered in this podcast way back in episode #33, but I thought it was worth bring back because it is so useful for working on site locally or across non-production environments
