I’ve successfully generated a CDN link in laravel but I stored it in private space.
I’m trying to generate a Storage::temporaryUrl for CDN but I’m not sure why it is not showing as CDN link but rather a normal link with temporary key.
The CDN link is working with just Storage::URL but when trying to access it I’m getting an Access Denied because it doesn’t have a temporary key.
I was wondering if there is a way to generate a TemporaryURL for CDN link with temporary key

I believe that Laravel’s file ysystem integration doesn’t natively offer a method to generate temporary URL for private files stored in spaces.
You’re likely seeing a non-CDN link because the URL generation process doesn’t consider the CDN. In Laravel, Storage::temporaryUrl() is only for S3 driver and is only usable if the object is private.
One workaround might be to manually generate the signed URL using the AWS SDK, including the path to the file relative to your Spaces root directory, and set the custom domain to point to your CDN endpoint.
Please note that for the best security practice, remember to not expose any sensitive data or API keys/secrets publicly.
Hope that this helps!
