Load images locally and not through CDN

[ghost]

Is it possible to setup this so images from body posts are loaded locally without contentful CDN?

I asked this question on Gatsby discussion but no one answered
gatsbyjs/gatsby#28104

We do not recommend to work around our CDNs and directly use our Image API. Thats what the gatsby plugin does.

Whats your reason for doing this?

You still can do it: (I assume you use Markdown)

1. First enable downloadLocal in gatsby-source-contentful
2. create a remark plugin similar to https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-remark-images-contentful/ that rewrites the image tag src to your local path

Thanks, have you seen an example in the past? I am wondering if anyone has done something similar to this, I dont think I can write a plugin yet :( , I enabled downloadLocal but none of the images are downloaded.

No sorry, I did not write a remark plugin yet :(
