django-dbstorage 1.0

Installing

The easiest way to install django-dbstorage is to use pip:

pip install django-dbstorage

Quick Start

In your Django settings file:

• Add 'django-dbstorage' to INSTALLED_APPS

• Set DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE to 'django_dbstorage.storage.DatabaseStorage'

• Set MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL to None.

Serving files

You must set MEDIA_URL to a view that will serve the static file.

This is left as an exercise to the reader.

Customizing

DatabaseStorage takes several options. To customize, subclass it and use that as DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE. For instance:

class MyDatabaseStorage(DatabaseStorage):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyDatabaseStorage, self).__init__(location='/tmp',
                                                base_url='/files/',
                                                uniquify_names=True)
