NAS using Django

[Vayuj Rajan]

Hi,

I have a query whether we can implement NAS (network attached storage) functionality using Django framework?

[Andreas Kuhne]

Hi Vayuj,

I think you have to be a bit more specific. Django is a web framework, used for creating web applications and websites. A NAS is usually an array of harddrives that has different file sharing protocols attached (for example SMB or NFS).

It would be possible to implement something like Amazons S3 in django however if that is what you want?

Andréas

What I wanted to do is to connect the file sharing protocols to this web application i.e the one I will be making it from Django and I wanted to host this application using apache so that it can be hosted locally.

That's still pretty vague.  What 'file sharing protocols' are you talking about specifically?  And what do you mean by wanting to 'connect' the file sharing protocols to the application?

There is a PySMB library that will allow your Django application to pretend to be a Windows client.

If you're just talking about having the Django application display existing files/mounts, there are various built-in tools for that.

You might want to take a look at the FreeNAS project.  They have a Django application running as a front-end to their FreeNAS appliance.

Actually, I saw a NAS at my friends place so I came up with an idea a of creating my own using a raspberry pi and an extrernal HDD.

I configured SAMBA and I can access it directly at my computer. But what I saw there that he was accessing it by using a  website . So basically he was accessing it from local web server with a storage attached.

So, I wanted to connect my Django web application with Samba File sharing sever so that I can access it from an IP typed at a web-browser.

You basically want something like owncloud[1] if I get you right.

If Django running on the NAS, there is no need to use smb.

Take a look at FreeNAS.  They are running FreeBSD with a Django front-end that configures (among other things) Samba shares and Samba AD/domain joins.

FWIW FreeNAS uses Django for its web admin (at least it did last time I installed it).

Best wishes,
