Plinth.Storage.AWS

Storage Provider for Plinth.Storage to write blob data to AWS S3

Enables storing the blob data used by Plinth.Storage in AWS S3

This package adds these extension methods to Plinth.Storage.StorageFactory to utilize S3

    storageFactory.AddS3Provider(new S3Settings()
      {
          BucketName = "my-s3-bucket",
          S3Url = "https://s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com",
          ClientId = "{aws-client-id}",
          ClientSecret = "{aws-client-secret}"
      });

    storageFactory.SetDefaultWriteProviderAsS3();

Index Strategies

By default, this will write blobs to the root of the container. There are 2 other built in options for further segmenting the blobs. To use these, set DefaultIndexStrategy in S3Settings

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDate This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date as /YY/MM/DD/{blobId}

DefaultIndexStrategy.ByDateTime This will place the blobs in a sub folder with the current date and current hour as /YY/MM/DD/HH/{blobId}

Alternatively, a custom indexing strategy can be provided. For example, the below will place the blobs under a folder named the first character of the blob's guid.

      new S3Settings()
      {
          ...
          CustomIndexStrategy = blob => $"{blob.Guid!.ToString()![0]}"
      }

Backup Bucket

By default, blobs will be written to the bucket specified. This library supports writing a backup to other buckets

To enable, use storageFactory.AddBackupS3Provider(settings) with a complete S3Settings object. Blobs will be written to the bucket specified (using the primary index).

IAM Authentication

If you prefer not to supply the ClientId/ClientSecret but instead use the IAM authentication available on AWS infrastructure, set UseSystemAuth to true in S3Settings instead.

File Extensions

By default, the blobs will a file extension in blob storage which come from the blob name field. This allows for browsers to more easily download those files directly. To disable this, set DisableBlobExtensions to true in S3Settings and the blobs will not have a file extension.

Public Access

By default, S3 blobs are private and require authentication to access. If anonymous access to the files is desired, set AllowPublicRead to true in S3Settings to enable Public Read access to the blobs. You must also enable public access at the bucket level for this to work.
