django-cockatiel

This is a django storage backend that makes use of the cockatiel distributed file storage. Please read the cockatiel documentation if you are unsure about what this is.

Requirements

• Django 1.8 or 1.9
• Python 3.4 or newer

Installation

To install django-cockatiel, you can simply run:

pip install django-cockatiel

If you want to use it as your primary media file storage, you need to add some configuration to your settings.py file. First of all, you need to set it as your default storage:

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django_cockatiel.CockatielStorage'

Next, you need to configure django-cockatiel itself. Currently, the following configuration options are available:

• PUBLIC_URL: The public URL that the files can be reached at. This could be the public address of one of your nodes or the address of a lode balancer of some kind.

• STORAGE_NODES: The list of storage nodes that should be used to store files. This should be a list of URLs of cockatiel instances.

Example:

COCKATIEL_STORAGE_OPTIONS = {
    'PUBLIC_URL': '/media/',
    'STORAGE_NODES': [
        'http://10.1.2.3:8012'
    ]
}
