Carrierwave AWS Storage
Use the officially supported AWS-SDK library for S3 storage rather than relying on fog. There are several things going for it:
- Full featured, it supports more of the API than Fog
- Significantly smaller footprint
- Fewer dependencies
- Clear documentation
Here is a simple comparison table [02/04/2013]
Library | Disk Space | Lines of Code | Boot Time | Runtime Deps | Develop Deps |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
fog | 28.0M | 133469 | 0.693 | 9 | 11 |
aws-sdk | 4.4M | 80017 | 0.098 | 3 | 8 |
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'carrierwave-aws'
Usage
Configure and use it just like you would Fog. The only notable difference is
the use of aws_bucket
instead of fog_directory
, and aws_acl
instead of
fog_public
.
CarrierWave.configure do |config|
config.storage = :aws
config.aws_bucket = ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME']
config.aws_acl = :public_read
config.aws_authenticated_url_expiration = 60 * 60 * 24 * 365
config.aws_credentials = {
access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
}
end
