A django widget library for securely uploading files directly to S3 (or MinIO).

Project description

django-s3-file-field

PyPI version shields.io PyPI - Python Version PyPI - Django Version

django-s3-file-field is a Django widget library for uploading files directly to S3 (or MinIO) through the browser. django-s3-file-field heavily depends on the django-storages package.

Quickstart

Ensure you've configured your Django installation to use django-storages for S3 access: https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/amazon-S3.html.

Install the django-s3-file-field package:

pip install django-s3-file-field

Add s3_file_field to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
 ...
 's3_file_field',
]

Add the required settings:

S3FF_UPLOAD_STS_ARN = '' # see STS Role section below (not required for minio)

Add the appropriate routes to urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    path('api/s3-upload/', include('s3_file_field.urls')),
]

Usage

from s3_file_field import S3FileField

class Car(db.Model):
    ...
    owners_manual = S3FileField()

Running checks

django-s3-file-field can detect common misconfigurations using Django's built in System check framework. To confirm your configuration is correct, run:

./manage.py check

CORS configuration

This is a minimal function CORS configuration for an S3 bucket to be compatible with django-s3-file-field:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<CORSRule>
    <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
    <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedMethod>PUT</AllowedMethod>
    <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>
    <ExposeHeader>Connection</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>Content-Length</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>Date</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>ETag</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>Server</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>x-amz-delete-marker</ExposeHeader>
    <ExposeHeader>x-amz-version-id</ExposeHeader>
    <MaxAgeSeconds>600</MaxAgeSeconds>
</CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

Note: These are insecure defaults, the allowed origin and headers should not be a wildcard but instead modified for your specific deployment(s).

MinIO support

MinIO support depends on the django-minio-storage config (see https://django-minio-storage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/), following settings are used

Security considerations

Integrating with forms

If you want to use an S3FileField in a form, some extra client code needs to be injected into your frontend. The form submission only communicates with Django, so the web client has to somehow send that data directly to S3 before the form is submitted. The necessary <script> is available in templates as form.media, which should be embedded into your form template similarly to this:

...
<head>
  {{ form.media }}
</head>
...

The script will detect any S3FileFields being rendered in forms and dynamically rewrite them so that they upload data directly to S3 whenever a file is selected.

Extending

django-s3-file-field sends out two signals when its REST api is called:

s3_file_field_upload_prepare(name: str, object_key: str)
s3_file_field_upload_finalize(name: str, object_key: str, status: string)
