--- layout: default title: Source & cache --- # Source & cache Glide makes it possible to access images stored in a variety of file systems. It does this using the [Flysystem](http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/) file system abstraction library. For example, you may choose to store your source images on [Amazon S3](http://aws.amazon.com/s3/), but keep your rendered images (the cache) on the local disk. ## Setup using Flysystem To set your source and cache locations, simply pass an instance of `League\Flysystem\Filesystem` for each. See the Flysystem [website](http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/) for a complete list of available adapters. ~~~ php new Filesystem(new Local('path/to/source/folder')), 'cache' => new Filesystem(new Local('path/to/cache/folder')), ]); ~~~ ## Setup using local disk Alternatively, if you are only using the local disk, you can simply provide the paths as a string. ~~~ php 'path/to/source/folder', 'cache' => 'path/to/cache/folder', ]); ~~~ ## Set default path prefix While it's normally possible to set the full source and cache path using Flysystem, there are situations where it may be desirable to set a default path prefix. For example, when only one instance of the `Filesystem` is available. ~~~ php $filesystem, 'cache' => $filesystem, 'source_path_prefix' => 'source', 'cache_path_prefix' => 'cache', ]); // Set using setter methods $server->setSourcePathPrefix('source'); $server->setCachePathPrefix('cache'); ~~~
