ckanext-s3filestore
Use Amazon S3 or Minio<https://minio.io/> as a filestore for resources.
Requirements
Requires CKAN 2.10+
GitHub Actions tested: 2.10, 2.11
Installation
To install ckanext-s3filestore:
-
Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:
. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate -
Install the ckanext-s3filestore Python package into your virtual environment:
2.1 From PyPI (NB This repository does not currently push versions to PyPI):
pip install ckanext-s3filestore
2.2 Alternatively, install from source:
pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/qld-gov-au/ckanext-s3filestore.git#egg=ckanext-s3filestore'
-
Add
s3filestoreto theckan.pluginssetting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at/etc/ckan/default/production.ini). -
Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:
```sudo service apache2 reload```
Config Settings
Required:
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_bucket_name = a-bucket-to-store-your-stuff
ckanext.s3filestore.region_name = region-name
ckanext.s3filestore.signature_version = s3v4
Conditional:
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_access_key_id = Your-Access-Key-ID
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_secret_access_key = Your-Secret-Access-Key
Or:
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_use_ami_role = true
Optional:
# An optional path to prepend to keys
ckanext.s3filestore.aws_storage_path = my-site-name
# An optional setting to fallback to filesystem for downloads
ckanext.s3filestore.filesystem_download_fallback = true
# The ckan storage path option must also be set correctly for the fallback to work
ckan.storage_path = path/to/storage/directory
# An optional setting to change the ACL of the uploaded files.
# Default 'public-read'.
ckanext.s3filestore.acl = private
# An optional setting to change the ACL of files previously uploaded
# for the resource under different names.
# 'auto' means use the same visibility as the current version.
# Default 'private'.
ckanext.s3filestore.non_current_acl = auto
# An optional setting to control whether the ACLs of uploaded files
# are updated immediately when the dataset is updated, or queued
# for asynchronous processing. Defaults to True (ie asynchronous).
# NB Inline updates occur during the same transaction as the dataset update,
# and may cause significant overhead for datasets with many resources.
ckanext.s3filestore.acl.async_update = False
# An optional setting to specify which addressing style to use.
# This controls whether the bucket name is in the hostname or is
# part of the URL path. Options are 'path', 'virtual', and 'auto';
# default is 'auto'.
ckanext.s3filestore.addressing_style = path
# Set this parameter only if you want to use a provider like Minio
# as a filestore service instead of S3.
# Ignored when using virtual addressing.
ckanext.s3filestore.host_name = http://minio-service.com
# To use user provided filepath and not use internal url basename
# on download. This affects behaviour when using a URL that points
# to an earlier version of a resource, with a different file name.
# If True, the older file will be served.
# If False, the newest file will be served (similarly to the default
# CKAN filestore behaviour), but the older file will be available at
# /dataset/{id}/resource/{resource_id}/orig_download/{filename}
# Defaults to False.
ckanext.s3filestore.use_filename = True
# To mask the S3 endpoint with your own domain/endpoint when serving URLs to end users.
# This endpoint should be capable of serving S3 objects as if it were an actual bucket.
# The real S3 endpoint will still be used for uploading files.
ckanext.s3filestore.download_proxy = https://example.com/my-bucket/
# Cache control for signed URLs. Values are in seconds.
# 'signed_url_expiry': How long a URL is valid (default 1 hour).
# 'signed_url_cache_window': How long a URL will be reused,
# if the resource is not updated in the meantime (default 30 min).
# The expiry should be longer than the window (not equal);
# otherwise, a URL may expire before a new one is available.
# If either value is zero or negative, then URL caching is disabled.
# 'public_url_cache_window': How long a public (unsigned) URL will be reused.
ckanext.s3filestore.signed_url_expiry = 3600
ckanext.s3filestore.signed_url_cache_window = 1800
ckanext.s3filestore.public_url_cache_window = 86400
# Control how long the ACL of an S3 object will be held in cache.
# Uploading a new file overrides this. Default is 604800 (1 week).
ckanext.s3filestore.acl_cache_window = 2592000
# If set, then prior objects uploaded not matching current filename for a
# resource may be deleted after the specified number of days from uploaded date.
# If less than zero, nothing is deleted. Defaults to -1.
#
# I.e. delete_non_current_days is set to 90 days
# If resource was uploaded 91 days ago, it will be marked for deletion
# If resource was uploaded 10 days ago, it will be deleted after 80 days time
# until next job on dataset/resource is run.
#
# Note: If S3 Versioning is enabled, then file can be recovered per external policy.
# Similar to same filename being used.
# If S3 Versioning is not enabled, then file is not recoverable.
ckanext.s3filestore.delete_non_current_days = 90
# Queue used by s3 plugin, if not set, `default` queue is used
ckanext.s3filestore.queue = bulk
CLI
To upload all local resources located in ckan.storage_path location dir to the configured S3 bucket use:
ckan -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini s3 upload all
