Hi Friends,
I am trying to use "Amazon S3 Bucket" for storing the attachments uploaded in any post or reply.
Misago is currently placing all the attachments inside /media/attachments/{{postId}}/{{hash code}}. We want to avoid this getting uploaded on our web server, and S3 buckets are a cheaper alternative.
Could you please help us guiding with this?
Regards,
Anuj
Hi!
This is actually possible to do.
First, create file named requirements-plugins.txt in the same directory that contains requirements.txt (it should be misago). Inside this file put this line:
django-storages
Next, create settings_override.py file in same directory that contains settings.py (it should be misago/misagodocker). Fill its contents like this:
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage"
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "YOUR AWS ACCESS KEY ID HERE"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "YOUR AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY HERE"
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = "YOUR BUCKET NAME"
AWS_S3_REGION_NAME = "YOUR REGION NAME"
Remember to fill in valid values to AWS_ settings!
Then, run ./appctl rebuild to rebuild your Misago site. After rebuild is complete, Misago should use S3 for uploads storage.
Does it support large files to be uploaded as parts(s3)?
No. It was never optimized for that. In v4 you will be able to solve this by implementing custom plugin, but I don't plan for having that in core.
