REplicated STOrage for Django, a file backend that mirrors media files to several servers
Project description
django-resto (REplicated STOrage) provides file storage backends that can store
files coming into a Django site on several servers simultaneously, using HTTP.
``HybridStorage`` will store the files locally on the filesystem and remotely,
while ``DistributedStorage`` will only store them remotely.
This works for files uploaded by users through the admin or through custom
Django forms, and also for files created by the application code, provided it
uses the standard `storage API`_.
django-resto is useful for sites deployed in a multi-server environment, in
order to accept uploaded files and have them available on all media servers
immediately for subsequent web requests that could be routed to any machine.
`django-resto` is a fork of `django-dust` with a stronger focus on consistency,
while django-dust's main concern is availability.
