AWS S3 for Ghost

This module allows you to store media file at Amazon S3 instead of storing at local machine, tailored for ghost blog v5.10 hosted with heroku. Will work with version 0.5.8 of Ghost as well!

Installation

npm install --save ghostblog-s3

Configuration

Create new Amazon S3 bucket and new IAM User with permissions allowed to put and get object from that bucket. Remember saving ACCESS_KEY and ACCESS_SECRET_KEY.

Add aws block to file config.js as below:

aws: {
    accessKeyId: Put_your_access_key_here,
    secretAccessKey: Put_your_secret_key_here,
    bucket: Put_your_bucket_name,
    region: Put_your_bucket_region*
}

Note If using US Standard for your amazon bucket region use the s3-external-1 or us-east-1.s3 for your buckets region name. Bucket Regions can be found here

Edit core/server/storage/index.js file look like below:

var errors  = require('../errors'),
storage = {},
config;

function getConfigModule() {
    if (!config) {
        config = require('../config');
    }
    return config;
}


function getStorage(storageChoice) {
    // TODO: this is where the check for storage apps should go
    // Local file system is the default.  Fow now that is all we support.
    // storageChoice = 'local-file-store';
    storageChoice = 'ghostblog-s3';

    if (storage[storageChoice]) {
        return storage[storageChoice];
    }

    try {
        // TODO: determine if storage has all the necessary methods.
        //storage[storageChoice] = require('./' + storageChoice);
        storage[storageChoice] = require(storageChoice)({
            errors: errors,
            config: getConfigModule().aws
        });
    } catch (e) {
        errors.logError(e);
    }

    // Instantiate and cache the storage module instance.
    storage[storageChoice] = new storage[storageChoice]();

    return storage[storageChoice];
}

module.exports.getStorage = getStorage;

Restart app then test upload new image in blog post. Image will be store at newly S3 bucket.
