Media Files - local network share

[Swelan Auguste]

Good day all,

I am trying to figure out how to attach a Django app to a local network server/share.

I do not want to host the media files on the same server so that the server doesn't run out of space and I can and I can grow my media file host share/server as it grows.

Kindly,

Swelan R. Auguste (Mr.)

Hi,

You can use django storages, particularly ftp or sftp modules for storage and then use nginx to server these files.

You can go through documentation here. https://django-storages.readthedocs.io/en/latest/backends/ftp.html

Good day,

Thanks for your reply.

I was looking into that also, are FTP and SFTP servers a good idea. I was under the impression that it was kind of old technology and was replaced by something bucket s3?

Can you help me out?
