django-s3direct

Directly upload files to S3 compatible services with Django.

Installation

Install with Pip:
pip install django-s3direct

Access setup

When setting up access credentials you have two options:

Option 1:

Generate access credentials and add them directly to your Django settings. If using Amazon S3 you'll also need to create an IAM policy which grants permission to upload to your bucket for your newly created credentials.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": [
        "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:PutObjectAcl"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::YOUR_BUCKET_NAME/*"
    }
  ]
}

Option 2:

Use the EC2 instance profile and its attached IAM role (AWS only)
Ensure the following trust policy is in place in addition to the policy above. You'll also need the boto3 package installed.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]
}

CORS setup

Add a CORS policy to your bucket. Note the ETag header is important as it is used for multipart uploads. For more information see here.

[
  {
    "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
    "AllowedMethods": ["GET", "HEAD", "PUT", "POST", "DELETE"],
    "AllowedOrigins": ["http://localhost:8080"],
    "ExposeHeaders": ["ETag"],
    "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
  }
]
