Storing Images & Videos to Openstack Cloud Storage using Swift Client
##Installation Steps:
1. Pull the code from Repo :
git clone https://github.com/gopal1cloud/twcswiftclient.git
2. Get into Project Folder :
$ cd twcswiftclient/
3. Install Dependencies from requirement file :
$ pip install -r requirement.txt
4. Modify Openstack Cloud configuration on settings file :
$ vim twcswiftclient/settings.py
django-storage-swift recognises the following options from settings file.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
SWIFT_AUTH_URL |
None | The URL for the auth server, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0 |
SWIFT_USERNAME |
None | The username to use to authenticate. |
SWIFT_KEY |
None | The key (password) to use to authenticate. |
SWIFT_AUTH_VERSION |
1 | The version of the authentication protocol to use. |
SWIFT_TENANT_NAME |
None | The tenant name to use when authenticating. |
SWIFT_CONTAINER_NAME |
None | The container in which to store the files. |
SWIFT_STATIC_CONTAINER_NAME |
None | Alternate container used by StaticSwiftStorage. |
SWIFT_AUTO_CREATE_CONTAINER |
False | Should the container be created if it does not exist? |
SWIFT_AUTO_BASE_URL |
True | Query the authentication server for the base URL. |
SWIFT_BASE_URL |
None | The base URL from which the files can be retrieved, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080/. |
SWIFT_USE_TEMP_URLS |
False | Generate temporary URLs for file access (allows files to be accessed without a permissive ACL). |
SWIFT_TEMP_URL_KEY |
None | Temporary URL key --- see [the OpenStack documentation][openstack-tempurl]. |
SWIFT_TEMP_URL_DURATION |
30*60 |
How long a temporary URL remains valid, in seconds. |
SWIFT_EXTRA_OPTIONS |
{} |
Extra options, eg. { "endpoint_type": "adminURL" }, which will return adminURL instead publicURL. |
django-swift-storage will automatically query the authentication server for the URL where your files can be accessed, which takes the form http://server:port/v1/AUTH_token/.
Sometimes you want to override the server and port (for example if you're developing using [devstack][devstack] inside Vagrant). This can be accomplished with SWIFT_BASE_URL.
The provided value is parsed, and:
- host and port override any automatically derived values
- any path component is put before derived path components.
So if your auth server returns http://10.0.2.2:8080/v1/AUTH_012345abcd/ and you have SWIFT_BASE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8888/foo", the url function will a path based on http://127.0.0.1:8888/foo/v1/AUTH_012345abcd/.
Temporary URLs provide a means to grant a user permission to access a file for a limited time only and without making the entire container public.
Temporary URLs work as described in the Swift documentation. (The code to generate the signatures is heavily based on their implementation.) They require setup of a key for signing: the process is described in [the OpenStack documentation][openstack-tempurl].
5. Creating Initial Tables on the Database with syncdb command :
$ python manage.py syncdb --noinput
6. Creating Admin/Superuser for Application :
$ echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser('admin', '[email protected]', 'admin')" | ./manage.py shell
(Note: modify your admin credentials create_superuser(username, emailid, password) )
7. Collecting static media files to server :
$ python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
8. Running Django Development Server:
Manual Run:
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Run through Deployment Script:
Note: If you want running the Development server in Backend, Run deploy.sh from project folder.
$ ./deploy.sh
This script will initiate the development server in backend and raise the application on your IP ADDRESS with port 8000
9. Access the development server specifying the IP in the browser:
http://IP ADDRESS:8000/
Thats it!!
