Run pip install flask-thumbnails-s3

Add Thumbnail to your extension file:

from flask_thumbnails_s3 import Thumbnail

app = Flask(__name__)

thumb = Thumbnail(app)

Add MEDIA_FOLDER and MEDIA_URL in your settings, as well as various S3-related values:

app.config['MEDIA_FOLDER'] = '/home/www/media'
app.config['MEDIA_URL'] = '/media/'
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_STORAGE_TYPE'] = 's3'
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_BUCKET_NAME'] = 'bucket-foo'
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'] = 'key-here'
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET'] = 'secret-here'
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_USE_HTTPS'] = True
app.config['THUMBNAIL_S3_STATIC_ROOT_PARENT'] = '/path/to/project/root/'

Example usage

Use in Jinja2 template:

<img src="{{ 'image.jpg'|thumbnail('200x200', storage_type='s3', bucket_name='bucket-foo') }}" alt="" />
<img src="{{ 'image.jpg'|thumbnail('200x200', crop='fit', quality=100) }}" alt="" />

For a complete, working Flask app that demonstrates flask-thumbnails-s3 in action, have a look at flask-s3-save-example.

quality=XX changes the quality of the output JPEG thumbnail, default 85.

Develop and Production

Production

In production, you need to add media directory in you web server.

Develop

To service the uploaded files need a helper function, where /media/ your settings app.config['MEDIA_URL']:

from flask import send_from_directory

@app.route('/media/<regex("([\w\d_/-]+)?.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)"):filename>')
def media_file(filename):
    return send_from_directory(app.config['MEDIA_THUMBNAIL_FOLDER'], filename)

Option settings

If you want to store the thumbnail in a folder other than the MEDIA_FOLDER, you need to set it manually:

app.config['MEDIA_THUMBNAIL_FOLDER'] = '/home/www/media/cache'
app.config['MEDIA_THUMBNAIL_URL'] = '/media/cache/'
