django-storages with multiple S3 Buckets

Question

I am using AWS and I will have different buckets in my application. I am also using Django-Storages. Is there a way to specify which bucket I want to upload the file to (for

Answer 1

Just mention another bucket name in settings.py with PRIVATE_BUCKET_NAME='bucket name'.

Create a custom class which override S3BotoStorage and which can be serialize into migration files.

Create a object for class s3_storage = S3MediaStorage() and give it to storage in file1 field in MyModel

from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage
from django.conf import settings

@deconstructible
class S3MediaStorage(S3BotoStorage):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        kwargs['bucket'] = getattr(settings, 'PRIVATE_BUCKET_NAME')
        super(S3MediaStorage, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

s3_storage = S3MediaStorage()

class MyModel(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField()
    file1 = models.FileField(storage=s3_storage)
