storing blob field on s3

[Mark Graves]

Hey everyone,

Quick question.

Is there a quick workaround for storing a blob db field on s3?

Would it work to set uploadfs = S3FS(bucket....)?

Or would I have to change it to an upload type field and then set the uploadfs for the uploadfield?

Sorry for the late reply:

pip install fs

Then on model:

import fs.s3fs
myfs = fs.s3fs.S3FS(bucket, prefix, aws_access_key, aws_secret_key)
db.define_table('image',Field('image','upload',uploadfs = myfs))

which is what you suggest basically. Should work our of the box.

Right.

No worries.

What about a field of type blob?

Will that also accept an uploadfs argument and act the same way?

Or do I have to store it as an upload?

No. Only upload type fields can go on filesystem. The others by definition go in db.

Hi Massimo,

I'm trying to follow the direction you mentioned, but I got 403 Forbidden Error whenever I tried to upload a file.

The fs is of version 0.5.4.

Is there any specific configuration need to be done on the S3 ?
