Amazon S3 Storage

When using AWS S3 Storage, uploads of all files in our application will go to the defined S3 Buckets. Depending on the type of file, they are served differently. Media files (public and private) are served directly by S3. either served directly by amazon s3 (by injecting the links directly into the webpage) or via the application server.

To enable the S3 storage add and set the following variables in the root values.yaml:

fileStorageConfig:
  s3:
    enabled: true
    region:
    publicBucket:
    privateBucket:
    uploadsBucket:
    accessKey:
    secretKey:

initConfig
  copyStaticFilesToS3:
    enabled: true

Configuration variables:

Settings Key	Possible Values	Description

Settings Key	Possible Values	Description
`region`	An AWS Region, eg `eu-central-1`	Specify the region of the S3 Bucket
`publicBucket`	A valid S3-Bucket name	The name of the bucket that holds the public media files
`privateBucket`	A valid S3-Bucket name	The name of the bucket that holds the private media files
`uploadsBucket`	A valid S3-Bucket name	The name of the bucket that holds the uploads (eg - 3D files)
`accessKey`	Any String	The access key of the IAM user that should access the private and public media buckets
`secretKey`	Any String	The secret key of the IAM user that should access the private and public media buckets

Bucket Permissions

You will need to specify a bucket for each of the 3 different file types. We suggest you create one bucket for each. Each of the buckets would need to have the following ACL set:

Public Media: ACL=public-read
Private Media: ACL=private
3D files: ACL=private

Furthermore, you will need to give an IAM user full access to all buckets and permission to list all available buckets. To do so, attach the following IAM policy to the entity that's accessing the buckets:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Action": "s3:*",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Resource": [
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<Public-Media-Bucket>>",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<Public-Media-Bucket>>/*",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<Private-Media-Bucket>>",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<Private-Media-Bucket>>/*",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<3D-Files-Bucket>>",
      "arn:aws:s3:::<<3D-Files-Bucket>>/*"
    ]
  },
  {
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
  }
  ]
}
