s3manifestcollectstatic

Optimized collectstatic for S3ManifestStaticStorage

Installation

1. Install the package

pip install s3manifestcollectstatic

2. Add s3manifestcollectstatic to INSTALLED_APPS

Description

collectstatic can take a long time. When used with storages.backends.s3boto3.S3ManifestStaticStorage, collectstatic uploads the files twice, once without the hash at the end of the file name, and once with the hash. Also, it doesn't use multiple threads to upload to s3.

s3manifestcollectstatic uploads the files only once, uses threads to speed things up, and doesn't upload the files that are already on S3.

collectstatic: (Around 20 minutes)

$ time ./manage.py collectstatic --noinput

604 static files copied, 646 post-processed.

Uploading the manifest
./manage.py s3manifestcollectstatic  10,95s user 1,92s system 49% cpu 26,269 total

If you want to reupload the files use -f:

./manage.py s3manifestcollectstatic -f

You can limit the maximum number of workers using -w:

./manage.py s3manifestcollectstatic -w 4
