+# Storing Remote Media
+
+Pleroma does not store remote/federated media by default. The best way to achieve this is to change Nginx to keep its reverse proxy cache
+for a year and to activate the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` MRF policy in Pleroma which will automatically fetch all media through the proxy
+as soon as the post is received by your instance.
+
+## Nginx
+
+```
+ proxy_cache_path /long/term/storage/path/pleroma-media-cache levels=1:2
+ keys_zone=pleroma_media_cache:10m inactive=1y use_temp_path=off;
+
+ location ~ ^/(media|proxy) {
+ proxy_cache pleroma_media_cache;
+ slice 1m;
+ proxy_cache_key $host$uri$is_args$args$slice_range;
+ proxy_set_header Range $slice_range;
+ proxy_http_version 1.1;
+ proxy_cache_valid 206 301 302 304 1h;
+ proxy_cache_valid 200 1y;
+ proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating;
+ proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
+ proxy_buffering on;
+ chunked_transfer_encoding on;
+ proxy_ignore_headers Cache-Control Expires;
+ proxy_hide_header Cache-Control Expires;
+ proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
+ }
+```
+
+## Pleroma
+
+Add to your `prod.secret.exs`:
+
+```
+config :pleroma, :mrf,
+ policies: [Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy]
+```
