Requirements

Python 3.10+ supported.
Django 4.2+ supported.

Setup

Install from pip:

pip install django-custom-storage

Modify settings.py by adding the app to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "compressor",
    "custom_storage",
    # ...
]

Configure storage in settings.py. The package ships sensible defaults and reads the project specifics from APP_CONFIG["custom_storage"]; call apply_storage_defaults at the end of the file so the STORAGES, compression and AWS settings are derived for you:

# Project paths (kept in the project; not owned by the package)
MEDIA_ROOT = "/var/opt/your_project_name/mediaroot/"
STATIC_ROOT = "/var/cache/your_project_name/staticroot/"

# AWS credentials
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "YOUR_PROJECT_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "YOUR_PROJECT_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"

# Project-specific options; everything else falls back to the package defaults.
APP_CONFIG = {
    "custom_storage": {
        "BUCKET_NAME": "your_project_bucket_name",
        "CUSTOM_DOMAIN": "cdn.your_project_bucket_name.com",
        # Optional overrides: FILE_EXPIRE, DEFAULT_ACL, PRIVATE_LOCATION, ...
    },
}

from custom_storage.conf import apply_storage_defaults

apply_storage_defaults(globals())

Top-level Django settings always win, so projects that already declare STORAGES, COMPRESS_* or AWS_* keep working unchanged. To serve assets from the local filesystem (handy in development) start the server with --force-local-storage or set FORCE_LOCAL_STORAGE = True.

See Settings for every available key and Storage classes for the backends, including the private storage that serves non-public uploads through signed, expiring URLs.
