Hi All,

I am hoping someone can help with moving SGA and grades uploads from local to S3. We are using the same version of SGA that came with Ficus.4 version of edx.

So far i have done the below

sudo vi /edx/app/edxapp/lms.auth.json

"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

"AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME": "edxbucket",

But it is still getting uploaded on local storage. I am guessing its because of below. But what do I change this to work with S3 storage.

sudo vi /edx/app/edxapp/lms.env.json

sudo vi /edx/app/edxapp/cms.env.json

"DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE": "django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage",

"MEDIA_ROOT": "/edx/var/edxapp/media/",

"MEDIA_URL": "/media/",

I must say i have ORA2 files uploaded on S3 storage but grades attachments uploaded locally. I would like to upload grade attachments on S3 storage as well. Any help with SGA and grades attachments upload to s3 would be helpful.

For grades would the below be correct

Inside lms.env.json & cms.env.json

"GRADES_DOWNLOAD": {

"BUCKET": "",

"ROOT_PATH": "",

"STORAGE_CLASS": "django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage",

"STORAGE_KWARGS": {

"location": "/tmp/edx-s3/grades"

},

"STORAGE_TYPE": ""

change to

    "GRADES_DOWNLOAD": {
        "BUCKET": "edxbucket",
        "ROOT_PATH": "edxbucket/grades",
        "STORAGE_TYPE": "s3"
    },

Regards,

Neville

Any one willing to share their configuration of S3 for SGA and grades? It would be really helpful. Thanks.

This is the relevant section of our lms.env.json file:

        "GRADES_DOWNLOAD": {
            "BUCKET": "your-grade-bucket-name-goes-here",
            "ROOT_PATH": "folder/path",

            "STORAGE_CLASS": "django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage",
            "STORAGE_KWARGS": {
                "location": "/tmp/edx-s3/grades"
            },

"STORAGE_TYPE": "S3"
},
