I am not sure what format should I use in the following environment variable for FILES_URL

FILES_URL=https://example.com or FILES_URL=http://example.com or FILES_URL=example.com

And Can I use the same domain I used for my self hosted dify web app access or I should create a separate subdomain for this

For the FILES_URL environment variable, you can use any of the following formats:

• FILES_URL=https://example.com
• FILES_URL=http://example.com
• FILES_URL=example.com

You can use the same domain for your self-hosted Dify web app, or if you prefer, you can create a separate subdomain. If FILES_URL is left empty, it will default to the same domain as the application. Additionally, image preview URLs are signed and expire after 5 minutes to ensure secure access to file previews ^[1].

Regarding FILES_URL, it depends on the hosting service's url. For example:

• if you are accessing the dify server from https://example.com, the the FILES_URL should be https://example.com.
• if you are accessing the dify server from http://example.com, the the FILES_URL should be http://example.com.

And Can I use the same domain I used for my self hosted dify web app access or I should create a separate subdomain for this

Yes, you can, however, we suggest using a different url https://upload.example.com instead of https://example.com like we did in our cloud service, we use https://upload.dify.ai.
