django-minio-storage

Use minio for django static and media file storage.

Minio is accessed through the Amazon S3 API, so existing django file storage adapters for S3 should work, but in practice they are hard to configure. This project uses the minio python client instead. Inspiration has been drawn from django-s3-storage and django-storages.

It is tested on python 3 and django 1.9+ at the moment, but should be easily portable to older versions. Python 2.7 is supported on a best effort basis, contributions are welcome. The current main blocker is issue #6.

The goal is to have a thoroughly tested, small codebase that delegates as much as possible to the minio client.

Versioning is semver compliant.

Status

This library is still a work in progress and not suitable for production use yet. Contributions and ideas are welcome (I mean it).

See the issues to see what needs to be done for a 1.0 release to happen.

Installation

pip install django-minio-storage

Add minio_storage to INSTALLED_APPS in your project settings.

The last step is setting DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE to "minio_storage.storage.MinioMediaStorage", and STATICFILES_STORAGE to "minio_storage.storage.MinioStaticStorage".

Configuration

The following settings are available:

• MINIO_STORAGE_ENDPOINT: the access url for the service (for example minio.example.org:9000 (note that there is no scheme)).
• MINIO_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY and MINIO_STORAGE_SECRET_KEY (mandatory)
• MINIO_STORAGE_USE_HTTPS: whether to use TLS or not (default: True)
• MINIO_STORAGE_MEDIA_BUCKET_NAME: the bucket that will act as MEDIA folder
• MINIO_STORAGE_AUTO_CREATE_MEDIA_BUCKET: whether to create the bucket if it does not already exist (default: False)
• MINIO_STORAGE_STATIC_BUCKET_NAME: the bucket that will act as STATIC folder
• MINIO_STORAGE_AUTO_CREATE_STATIC_BUCKET: whether to create the bucket if it does not already exist (default: False)

## Logging

The library defines a logger with the name 'minio_storage' that you can add to your django logging configuration.

## Tests

Test coverage is and should remain 100%. The library is very small and a minio server can be very easily brought up with docker, so there is no reason to use mocking most of the time, the tests should run directly against a real minio instance.

To run the tests, you need docker and docker compose, then it is as simple as:

docker-compose run django ./run_tests.sh
