⁠AWS Direct Upload Sample

Simple example demonstrating how to accomplish a direct upload to Amazon S3 in a Python Flask application.

Ideally the static assets are processed (minified / compressed) and served from a CDN instead of this app itself.

⁠Running the application

• Set environment variables for your AWS access key, secret, and bucket name

• Run:

  docker build -t aws-uploads-sample .
  docker run -d --name "uploader" -p 5000:5000 \
      -e "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
      -e "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
      -e "S3_BUCKET=${S3_BUCKET}" \
      -e "S3_REGION=${S3_REGION}" \
      aws-uploads-sample
  

  Copy

• Visit localhost:5000/upload⁠ to try it out

⁠Troubleshooting

You can test the AWS credentials provided have the rights to upload as follows:

$ docker exec -it uploader sh

$ python
import boto3
from botocore.client import Config
s3 = boto3.client('s3', 'ap-southeast-1',config=Config(s3={'addressing_style':'path'}))
s3.upload_file('application.py','myBucket','application.py')
