Laravel 5 Flysystem - download file from remote disk
Frank here from Flysystem.
The preferred way to do this would be to use the readStream output in combination with Response::stream.
<?php$fs = Storage::disk('diskname')->getDriver();$stream = $fs->readStream($file);return Response::stream(function() use($stream) { fpassthru($stream);}, 200, [ "Content-Type" => $fs->getMimetype($file), "Content-Length" => $fs->getSize($file), "Content-disposition" => "attachment; filename=\"" . basename($file) . "\"",]);The $fs is the League\Flysystem\Filesystem instance. I believe there is a method to retrieve this instance in the filesystem class Laravel provides.
Is adding
Storage::disk()sufficient for making Laravel look in this location rather than locally?
No, that wouldn't affect response()->download() calls.
Something like this should work:
return response()->download(Storage::disk('rackspace')->get('file-library/' . $file->filename));
