Orchard Core Azure Media Storage - Prompt Templates

Module Overview

The OrchardCore.Media.Azure module enables storing media assets in Microsoft Azure Blob Storage instead of the default App_Data file-based store. It provides two features:

• OrchardCore.Media.Azure.Storage — Replaces the default media store with Azure Blob Storage.
• OrchardCore.Media.Azure.ImageSharpImageCache — Stores ImageSharp resized image cache in Azure Blob Storage instead of the local file system.

Media is still served by the Orchard Core web site. The Media Cache module fetches assets on the fly from Azure Blob Storage, enabling image resizing through ImageSharp.Web integration. The AssetUrl helpers generate URLs pointing to the Orchard Core web site.

Azure Media Storage Configuration

Guidelines

• Enable the OrchardCore.Media.Azure.Storage feature.
• Provide a valid Azure Storage account connection string.
• The container name must be a valid DNS name and conform to Azure container naming rules (lowercase only).
• Set CreateContainer to true to auto-create the container on startup; set to false if your container already exists.
• If the connection string is missing or invalid, the feature will not activate and an error will be logged.
• Only one storage provider can be active at a time (File Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or Amazon S3 Storage).
