1. Install the Extension (just clone it, not yet in TER) on the client (dev) and the server (production).
2. Adjust the Extension configuration of fal_dummy:
   • On the remote: enable the Server functionality
   • On the client: configure the URL to the remote TYPO3 installation.
3. Set the driver of your storage(s) to "Remote"
