.. _remote_storages:
Remote storages
---------------
In some cases it's useful to use a CDN_ for serving static files such as
those generated by Django Compressor. Due to the way Django Compressor
processes files, it requires the files to be processed (in the
``{% compress %}`` block) to be available in a local file system cache.
Django Compressor provides hooks to automatically have compressed files
pushed to a remote storage backend. Simply set the storage backend
that saves the result to a remote service (see
:attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_STORAGE`).
django-storages
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So assuming your CDN is `Amazon S3`_, you can use the boto_ storage backend
from the 3rd party app `django-storages-redux`_. Some required settings are::
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = 'compressor-test'
Next, you need to specify the new CDN base URL and update the URLs to the
files in your templates which you want to compress::
COMPRESS_URL = "http://compressor-test.s3.amazonaws.com/"
.. note::
For staticfiles just set ``STATIC_URL = COMPRESS_URL``
The storage backend to save the compressed files needs to be changed, too::
COMPRESS_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
Using staticfiles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are using Django's staticfiles_ contrib app, you'll need to use a
temporary filesystem cache for Django Compressor to know which files to
compress. Since staticfiles provides a management command to collect static
files from various locations which uses a storage backend, this is where both
apps can be integrated.
#. Make sure the :attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_ROOT` and STATIC_ROOT_
settings are equal since both apps need to look at the same directories
when to do their job.
#. You need to create a subclass of the remote storage backend you want
to use; below is an example of the boto S3 storage backend from
django-storages-redux_::
from django.core.files.storage import get_storage_class
from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage
class CachedS3BotoStorage(S3BotoStorage):
"""
S3 storage backend that saves the files locally, too.
"""
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(CachedS3BotoStorage, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.local_storage = get_storage_class(
"compressor.storage.CompressorFileStorage")()
def save(self, name, content):
name = super(CachedS3BotoStorage, self).save(name, content)
self.local_storage._save(name, content)
return name
#. Set your :attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_STORAGE` and STATICFILES_STORAGE_
settings to the dotted path of your custom cached storage backend, e.g.
``'mysite.storage.CachedS3BotoStorage'``.
#. To have Django correctly render the URLs to your static files, set the
STATIC_URL_ setting to the same value as
:attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_URL` (e.g.
``"http://compressor-test.s3.amazonaws.com/"``).
