django-s3direct

Upload files directly to S3 from Django

Add direct uploads to AWS S3 functionality with a progress bar to file input fields.

Installation

Install with Pip:

pip install django-s3direct

Backwards-Compatiblity

With 1.0.0 supporting multipart-upload, most of the internals have been changed, a new endpoint has been added, and support has been dropped for old style positional settings. There are also new requirements to allow GET and HEAD cross-origin requests to S3, as well as the ETAG header. Django compatibility has been raised to >=1.8.

If you used any of these features or relied on the previous behaviour, it's recommended that you pin django-s3direct to <1.0 until you can test the new version in your project:

pip install 'django-s3direct <1.0'

AWS Setup

Access Credentials

You have two options of providing access to AWS resources:

1. Add credentials of an IAM user to your Django settings (see below)
2. Use the EC2 instance profile and its attached IAM role

Whether you are using an IAM user or a role, there needs to be an IAM policy in effect that grants permission to upload to S3:

"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:PutObject",
"s3:PutObjectAcl",
"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
}
]

If the instance profile is to be used, the IAM role needs to have a Trust Relationship configuration applied:

"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}
]

Note that in order to use the EC2 instance profile, django-s3direct needs to query the EC2 instance metadata using utility functions from the botocore [] package. You already have botocore installed if boto3 is a dependency of your project.

S3 CORS

Setup a CORS policy on your S3 bucket.

<CORSConfiguration>
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>http://yourdomain.com:8080</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
<AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<ExposeHeader>ETag</ExposeHeader>
<AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

Examples

Examples of both approaches can be found in the examples folder. To run them:

$ git clone git@github.com:bradleyg/django-s3direct.git
$ cd django-s3direct
$ python setup.py install
$ cd example
# Add your AWS keys to your environmentexport AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='…'export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='…'export AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME='…'export S3DIRECT_REGION='…'# e.g. 'eu-west-1'
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:5000
