A Django storage backend for local development that downloads files from the live site on the fly.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/piquadrat/django-localdevstorage.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/piquadrat/django-localdevstorage/badge.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/django-localdevstorage.svg

django-localdevstorage is a set of storage backends that helps during development. Instead of having to copy all user generated media from the live site for local development, the storage backends provided by django-localdevstorage will download media files that are not available locally “on demand”.

Installation

Set one of the provided storage backends in your settings.py. These are:

  • HTTP: DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'localdevstorage.http.HttpStorage'

  • (more will follow)

HTTP

Set the fallback domain that should be used to fetch missing files. This is usually the protocol (http or https) and the domain your live site:

LOCALDEVSTORAGE_HTTP_FALLBACK_DOMAIN = 'http://www.example.com/'

If your server is secured with HTTP basic auth, you can provide a username and password:

LOCALDEVSTORAGE_HTTP_USERNAME = 'foo'
LOCALDEVSTORAGE_HTTP_PASSWORD = 'bar'

SFTP

There are three settings that need to be configured for the SFTP backend:

  • LOCALDEVSTORAGE_SFTP_USER

  • LOCALDEVSTORAGE_SFTP_HOST

  • LOCALDEVSTORAGE_SFTP_ROOT_PATH: this should be the MEDIA_ROOT on the remote machine in most cases.

Caveats

  • Since django-localdevstorage extends a Django storage backend (FileSystemStorage to be precise), only code that uses Django’s file storage abstraction works with django-localdevstorage. Code that bypasses Django and accesses files directly will not benefit.
