LB Phone

This guide will go over how to set up the Qbox CDN with LB Phone

Whitelisting the CDN Domain​

First we'll need to whitelist the qbox domain. Navigate to config > config.lua and search for the following Config.UploadWhitelistedDomains. In this table you'll need to add qbox.re to the list of domains. It should look like this:

-- Set to false/empty to disable
Config.UploadWhitelistedDomains = { -- domains that are allowed to upload images to the phone (prevent using devtools to upload images)
    "fivemanage.com",
    "fmfile.com",
    "qbox.re",
    "cfx.re" -- lb-upload
}

Changing upload method​

In the same config file we will search for Config.UploadMethod. This will give you 3 different options for all the file types. Change them all to qbox like so:

Config.UploadMethod.Video = "Qbox" -- "Fivemanage" or "LBUpload" or "Custom"
Config.UploadMethod.Image = "Qbox" -- "Fivemanage" or "LBUpload" or "Custom"
Config.UploadMethod.Audio = "Qbox" -- "Fivemanage" or "LBUpload" or "Custom"

Adding the Qbox upload method​

Now we are done in the config file. Next we will go to shared > upload.lua. Here you will see a big table with all kinds of upload methods for different services. We will be adding one for Qbox in here.

Add this inside the UploadMethods table, alongside all the other options!

Qbox = {
    Default = {
        url = "PRESIGNED_URL",
        field = "file",
        success = {
            path = "data.url"
        },
        sendPlayer = "metadata"
    },
},
This is what your complete table would look like

Adding your API key​

Navigate to server > apiKeys.lua. Here you will see a table with all the API keys for the different upload methods. Simply add the same API key that you generated in the Qbox CDN dashboard.

API_KEYS = {
    Video = "API_KEY_HERE",
    Image = "API_KEY_HERE",
    Audio = "API_KEY_HERE",
}

Editing Presigned URL Function​

And lastly we will go to server > custom > functions > functions.lua. This file contains the function GetPresignedUrl which we will replace with the following:

function GetPresignedUrl(source, uploadType)
    if not uploadType then
        debugprint("GetPresignedUrl: Missing uploadType")
        return nil
    end

    local apiKey = API_KEYS[uploadType]

    if not apiKey or apiKey == "" then
        debugprint("GetPresignedUrl: Missing API key for uploadType", uploadType)
        return nil
    end

    local requestPromise = promise.new()

    PerformHttpRequest("https://api.qbox.re/v1/file/presigned-url", function(statusCode, result)
        local presignedUrl

        if statusCode == 200 then
            local ok, response = pcall(json.decode, result)

            if ok and response and response.data and response.data.presignedUrl then
                presignedUrl = response.data.presignedUrl
            else
                debugprint("GetPresignedUrl: Invalid response payload", result)
            end
        else
            debugprint("GetPresignedUrl: Request failed", statusCode, result)
        end

        requestPromise:resolve(presignedUrl)
    end, "GET", json.encode({ uploadType = uploadType }), {
        ["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
        ["Authorization"] = apiKey,
    })

    return Citizen.Await(requestPromise)
end
