django-s3-folder-storage

Quick extension of django-storages’ S3BotoStorage to allow separate folders for uploaded and static media within an S3 bucket.

Installation

Use pip to install from github (until I get this on PyPI):

pip install -e git://github.com/jamstooks/django-s3-folder-storage.git#egg=django_s3_folder_storage-dev

Add s3_folder_storage to your settings.py file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    's3_folder_storage',
    ...
)

Configuration

You are essentially using django-storages for S3 hosting, so you will be using their settings. The two settings that are specific to django-s3-folder-storage are DEFAULT_S3_PATH and STATIC_S3_PATH.

Here’s an example:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 's3_folder_storage.s3.DefaultStorage'
DEFAULT_S3_PATH = "media"
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 's3_folder_storage.s3.StaticStorage'
STATIC_S3_PATH = "static"
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = {{ your key id here }}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = {{ your secret key here }}
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = {{ your bucket name here }}

MEDIA_ROOT = '/%s/' % DEFAULT_S3_PATH
MEDIA_URL = '//s3.amazonaws.com/%s/media/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
STATIC_ROOT = "/%s/" % STATIC_S3_PATH
STATIC_URL = '//s3.amazonaws.com/%s/static/' % AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'
