1 # Storing Remote Media
2
3 Akkoma does not store remote/federated media by default. The best way to achieve this is to change Nginx to keep its reverse proxy cache
4 for a year and to activate the `MediaProxyWarmingPolicy` MRF policy in Akkoma which will automatically fetch all media through the proxy
5 as soon as the post is received by your instance.
