Heroku + S3 = img's with expiry

[ddvorkin14]

There is no clear documentation around how to properly setup the s3 bucket and the solidus instance on heroku so img's dont expire.... Whats strange is the img's dont expire on the solidus backend panel, its only on the customer facing front end views

Solidus Version:
3.1.7

To Reproduce
deploy to heroku with s3 config, upload an img, visit the customer facing ui, wait 5 min and the img will expire and will not display

Current behavior
the img link is expiring on the frontend and its a bit confusing why

Expected behavior
Im expecting for the url to the img to refresh or reload or something

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: HEROKU
• Browser Chrome

Yeah, this is one of the most common issues people run into that gets reported in the Solidus Slack #support channel. The backend isn't an issue because there's no caching.

The frontend runs into the issue that much of the product show and listing pages are cached, so when the expiring URLs are generated, they get reused beyond the lifespan of the generated image URLs.

So what is the recommendation here because im running out of ideas haha @jarednorman

If you set the bucket policy to make all objects in the bucket public, that'll solve it.
