django-filestorages

Django-getstorage is a tiny Python library for dealing with configurable Django storages.

It allows you to define a dictionary of file storage configurations in your settings and refer to them by name in your code.

It should be obsolete once Django ticket 26029 is resolved.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install django-filestorages.

pip install django-filestorages

Usage

Wherever you need a storage, use the filestorages.get_storage function.

from filestorages import get_storage

file = models.FileField(storage=get_storage('some.configured.storage'))

In your settings, you can define your storages using dotted paths:

FILE_STORAGES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': "django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage",
        'OPTIONS': {
            'location': '/path/to/the/files/',
            'base_url': '/files/',
        }
    },
    'some': {
        'BACKEND': 'other.backend.Storage',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'option': 'value',
        },
    },
    'some.configured': {
        'OPTIONS': {
            'second_option': True,
        },
    },
}

In this example get_storage('some.configured.storage') returns other.backend.Storage(option='value', second_option=True)

If no matching backend is found, FILE_STORAGES['default'] is used, falling back on DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE if not set.
