lektor-s3 makes it easy to deploy your Lektor project to an S3 bucket.
Install with the usual Lektor toolchain. Within your project, run
lektor plugins add lektor-s3
You should see a message saying lektor-s3 has been added to the project.
Next, add an S3 bucket to your project's servers. In your project file
(like blog.lektorproject), add the following:
[servers.s3]
name = S3
enabled = yes
target = s3://<YOUR-BUCKET>
For example, if you wanted to deploy to a bucket named 'huntedwumpus', you'd make that last line
target = s3://huntedwumpus
Now, if you call lektor deploy s3, Lektor will upload your built
website to S3 in the bucket you targeted.
Important: the bucket must already exist. lektor-s3 won't automatically create the S3 bucket for you. AWS has a pretty good guide for how to set up a bucket to host a static website.
You need to prove to S3 that you have permission to upload to the bucket you've chosen.
lektor-s3 uses boto, which means it will obey boto's usual flow for gathering credentials.
For a refresher, that means you have two options: you can store your
credentials in an INI file at ~/.aws/credentials, or you can pass
credentials in through the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
