Q: Save new images to Gridsome when server is running about gridsome-starter-strapi HOT 4 CLOSED

Yeah it is not connected to Strapi right after you download all the images. It was a restriction on my server, which blocks hotlinking for every image ressource unless it is on the white list. Then it works like earlier 🙂

Is there any way to do that while the server is running?

Hi @kwiat1990! I will soon work on this repo anyway, and will have a look into this then as well.

If you want to update your Gridsome page in production when you make changes in Strapi, then this should probably happen through a Webhook that you configure within the hosting platform (e.g. Netflify). This would make Strapi trigger a rebuild of your site within for example Netlify whenever you made changes in Strapi. You can read more under Strapi Webhooks or take inspiration of the tutorial for Gatsby and then apply the approach for gridsome.

As soon as I will have time to work on this repo, I will also try to provide documentation on how to deploy the site properly

@lukaskoeller I misunderstood the JAM concept at the beginning. It's all clear to me now.

I wonder if you have encountered some problems if connecting to Strapi over https? As soon as I moved from local development to production build the function for fetching images directly from Strapi doesn't work anymore, even though I use https module instead http. I can see that I still connect to Strapi but the downloaded images are somehow corrupted and the url of images doesn't get replaced with Gridsome's image object but are null.

EDIT: well, it turned out to be a problem with hotlinking prevention on my server. If it is enable, then image fetching can't work.

I only can say that the Starter hosted on Netlify is not connected to strapi in any way (no webhook or similar). After the build, all links are relative, included locally (since they were downloaded) and thus do not refer to an external resource (thus no cors or other problems). I simply uploaded the build version of the starter to Netlify.
