Hi all, I'm trying to set up a Rails 5.2 app to directly upload images to Digital Ocean Spaces, and to then serve those images using Cloudfront. I'm able to do direct uploads to Spaces using ActiveStorage following #237, and I've configured Cloudfront as my asset host and everything in app/assets is served from there. But I can't figure out how to get the CDN to serve my images stored on Spaces. I tried nukeproof's workaround here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/31419 without success. Any suggestions?
