Customize AWS File Storage in cookiecutter.storagebackend using boto3
This guide will walk you through the steps to customize AWS file storage in cookiecutter.storagebackend using boto3.
Step 1: Install Boto3
First, make sure you have boto3 installed in your project environment:
pip install boto3
Step 2: Configure AWS Credentials
Next, configure your AWS credentials in your environment variables or AWS configuration files.
Step 3: Customize cookiecutter.storagebackend
Now, customize cookiecutter.storagebackend to use AWS S3 file storage by modifying the backend.py file as follows:
import boto3
from django.core.files.storage import get_storage_class
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
storage_class = get_storage_class('storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage')
class CustomS3Storage(storage_class):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs['bucket'] = 'my-bucket-name' # Replace with your S3 bucket name
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def _save(self, name, content):
"""
Save a file to AWS S3.
"""
self._create_bucket_if_not_exists()
return super()._save(name, content)
def _create_bucket_if_not_exists(self):
"""
Create an S3 bucket if it does not already exist.
"""
if self.bucket_name not in [bucket.name for bucket in s3.buckets.all()]:
s3.create_bucket(Bucket=self.bucket_name)
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'path.to.CustomS3Storage'
Step 4: Test the Custom Storage Backend
Finally, test the custom storage backend by uploading a file to S3 using Django’s default_storage:
from django.core.files.storage import default_storage
file = open('/path/to/file.jpg', 'rb')
default_storage.save('file.jpg', file)
