sync_media_s3

synopsis

sync your MEDIA_ROOT folder to S3

Django command that scans all files in your settings.MEDIA_ROOT folder and uploads them to S3 with the same directory structure.

This command can optionally do the following but it is off by default:

  • gzip compress any CSS and Javascript files it finds and adds the appropriate 'Content-Encoding' header.
  • set a far future 'Expires' header for optimal caching.

Example Usage

# Upload files to S3 into the bucket 'mybucket'
$ ./manage.py sync_media_s3 mybucket
# Upload files to S3 into the bucket 'mybucket' and enable gzipping CSS/JS files and setting of a far future expires header
$ ./manage.py sync_media_s3 mybucket --gzip --expires

Required libraries and settings

This management command requires the boto library and was tested with version 1.4c:

It also requires an account with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the AWS S3 keys. The keys are added to your settings.py file, for example:

# settings.py
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = ''
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ''
