使用Heroku和Django和Images设置S3

Question

so I currently have my static files (js and css) just being stored on Heroku which is no biggie. However, I have objects that I need to store multiple images too and be able to get those images on request. How would I store a reference to those images?

I was planning to use a S3 Direct File Upload using these steps on Heroku here . Is this also going to be the best way for me to do so?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I don't think setting up static (css,js,etc..) or media (images, videos) to be stored on S3 has anything to do with Heroku or where you deploy. Rather, its just making sure Django knows where to save the files, and where to fetch them. I would definitely not follow that link, because it seems confusing and not helpful when working with Django.

This tutorial has really helped me, as it will show you how to set all of that up. I have gone through these steps and can confirm it does the trick. https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2017/08/01/how-to-setup-amazon-s3-in-a-django-project.html

While I've gone this route in the past, I've recently opted to use Digital Ocean's one-click app - Dokku . It's based on Herokuish . I then use Dokku's persistent storage to take advantage of the 25 gigs of storage on DO's smallest, $5/month, plan. I wrote a guide to this here .
