django-railway-storage

A Django package that provides Railway bucket storage backends and a management command to auto-configure your settings.

Installation

pip install django-railway-storage

Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_railway_storage',
]

Setting up a Railway Bucket

  1. On the Railway canvas, right-click an empty area and select Add Service
  2. Select Bucket from the list
  3. Click Deploy to provision the bucket
  4. Navigate to the Credentials tab of the bucket
  5. Click Add to Service
  6. Select the service (your Django app) you want to connect the bucket to
  7. Under Style, select either:
    • AWS SDK (Generic) — for general S3-compatible access
    • Django (django-storages) — injects variables matching django-storages naming
  8. The injected environment variables will match what this package expects:
    • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    • AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
    • AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL
    • AWS_S3_REGION_NAME
  9. Click Add Service to save — the variables are now available in your Railway deployment

Usage

Auto-configure settings

Run the management command to append the storage config to your settings file:

# Private storage (presigned URLs, default)
python manage.py configure_railway_storage

# Public storage
python manage.py configure_railway_storage --storage public

# Custom settings file path
python manage.py configure_railway_storage --settings-file config/settings/production.py

# Custom presigned URL expiry (seconds)
python manage.py configure_railway_storage --storage private --expire 7200

Required environment variables

Set these in your Railway project (or .env):

Variable Description
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID Railway bucket access key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY Railway bucket secret key
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME Bucket name
AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL Railway S3-compatible endpoint URL
AWS_S3_REGION_NAME Region (default: us-east-1)

Use backends directly

You can also reference the backends manually in your settings:

# Private (presigned URLs)
STORAGES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_railway_storage.backends.PrivateMediaStorage",
    },
    ...
}

# Public
STORAGES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_railway_storage.backends.PublicMediaStorage",
    },
    ...
}

Use on a model field

from django.db import models

class Document(models.Model):
    file = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/')  # uses default storage
