Security Middleware Configuration

Due to the default settings in the Strapi Security Middleware you will need to modify the contentSecurityPolicy settings to properly see thumbnail previews in the Media Library.

Edit your Strapi configuration in ./config/middlewares.js:

module.exports = [
  // ...
  {
    name: 'strapi::security',
    config: {
      contentSecurityPolicy: {
        useDefaults: true,
        directives: {
          'connect-src': ["'self'", 'https:'],
          'img-src': [
            "'self'",
            'data:',
            'blob:',
            'market-assets.strapi.io',
            'yourBucketName.yourRegion.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com', // with CDN
            'yourBucketName.yourRegion.digitaloceanspaces.com',
          ],
          'media-src': [
            "'self'",
            'data:',
            'blob:',
            'market-assets.strapi.io',
            'yourBucketName.yourRegion.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com', // with CDN
            'yourBucketName.yourRegion.digitaloceanspaces.com',
          ],
