This package fills the missing gap in using AWS S3 together with Wagtail. This package will be useful if you want to:

  • Use AWS S3 bucket for hosting Wagtail documents.

  • Put the bucket behind the CDN so that the bucket is not called directly each time.

  • Allow editors to use privacy controls on documents, whilst using CDN.

  • Avoid time-outs because of downloads being proxied through Wagtail views.

    Note: you cannot use the document redirect view if you want your documents to be truly private.

What does it do?

The package is a collection of signal handlers and Wagtail hooks.

  • Sets per-object ACLs on S3 whenever privacy settings change on a Wagtail document.

  • Replaces the current document view with a redirect. Either to a signed S3 bucket URL for private documents or public custom domain URL for public ones.

  • Purges CDN for documents that have changed.

Requirements

  • django-storages with the S3Boto3Storage storage backend configured in a Wagtail project.

  • CDN supported by Wagtail front-end cache invalidator.

Management commands

django-admin fix_document_acls

The package provider a management command that sets all the documents’ ACLs according to the their collection permissions. This must be called if there had been documents in a bucket before the package was used to make sure the ACLs in the bucket are correct.

Settings

WAGTAIL_STORAGES_DOCUMENTS_FRONTENDCACHE

Using the same format as Wagtail’s WAGTAILFRONTENDCACHE setting, but to be only used by the wagtail-storages to purge the documents. If not set, the purge won’t happen. Read more on how to format it in the Wagtail docs, e.g.

WAGTAIL_STORAGES_DOCUMENTS_FRONTENDCACHE = {
    'cloudfront': {
        'BACKEND': 'wagtail.contrib.frontend_cache.backends.CloudfrontBackend',
        'DISTRIBUTION_ID': 'your-distribution-id',
     },
}

WAGTAIL_STORAGES_DOCUMENT_HOOK_ORDER

Set a custom order for the document hook order. It’s set to 100 by default. It’s important that it runs after any of your hooks since it returns a response, e.g.

WAGTAIL_STORAGES_DOCUMENT_HOOK_ORDER = 900
