Hello all, I've done some testing and had success with storing Arches uploaded media files in an AWS S3 storage bucket. This is a very cheap and scalable way to store data (about $.03/gb-month), so it would allow an arches system on a server with very small disk space to hold pretty a much unlimited amount of data. In other words, if you want to use this setup, you can more or less remove disk storage space from one of your initial server considerations.
If you look around, there are lots of Django apps out there that use this system, but there are some concerns with how fast the media is served by S3 (though, the rest of the app will benefit from not having to serve these media files). I haven't been able to extensively test the speed yet, so any feedback would be great. I've added to the official arches-hip documentation <https://arches-hip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>, under the "Extra" heading. Let me know if there's any way to improve the steps or if you have trouble. -- -- To post, send email to [email protected]. To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected].
