django-backblaze-b2
===================

`pypi version <https://pypi.org/project/django-backblaze-b2/>`__ `python
version <https://pypi.org/project/django-backblaze-b2/>`__ `django
version <https://pypi.org/project/django-backblaze-b2/>`__

A storage backend for Django that uses `Backblaze’s B2
APIs <https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html>`__.

Implementation wraps `Official Python
SDK <https://github.com/Backblaze/b2-sdk-python>`__

How to use
----------

1. Install from this repo, or install from PyPi:
   ``pip install django-backblaze-b2`` As tested, requires python 3.6 or
   greater but solely due to type annotations. PRs welcome :)
2. Configure your django ``settings``. The absolute minimum config would
   be:

.. code:: python

   BACKBLAZE_CONFIG = {
       "application_key_id": os.getenv("BACKBLAZE_KEY_ID"), # however you want to securely retrieve these values
       "application_key": os.getenv("BACKBLAZE_KEY"),
   }

| Theoretically you may now refer to the base storage class as a storage
  class.
| e.g.

.. code:: python

   from django_backblaze_b2 import BackblazeB2Storage

   class MyModel(models.Model):
       fileField = models.FileField(
           upload_to="uploads",
           storage=BackblazeB2Storage
       )

Public/Logged-In/Private storage
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Add ``django_backblaze_b2`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``
2. Add the urls to your ``urlpatterns`` in the root ``urls.py``:

.. code:: python

       urlpatterns = [
           ...
           path('', include('django_backblaze_b2.urls')),
       ]

Configurations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

| You may want to use your own bucket name, or set further configuration
  such as lazy authorization/validation, or specifying file metadata.
| Refer to `the options <./django_backblaze_b2/options.py>`__ for all
  options.
| You can modify the settings dict, but additionally override any
  setting with the ``opts`` keyword argument to the storage classes.

To specify different buckets to use for your public, logged-in, staff
storage, you can set the ``specificBucketNames`` attribute of the
settings dict.

Why
---

There are several Django storage packages out there already which
support B2, but none met my needs. These are:

-  `django-storages <https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages>`__

   -  Large community engagement ✅
   -  Well-tested ✅
   -  `Second-class
      support <https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages/issues/765>`__
      via `Apache Libcloud <https://github.com/apache/libcloud>`__ ❌
   -  Disconnect in configuration and actual use ❌
   -  PR list with low turnaround ❌

-  `django-b2 <https://github.com/pyutil/django-b2>`__

   -  Similar aim to this project, around official backblaze SDK ✅
   -  Mixed goals (storage, scripts) ❌
   -  Tests?? ❌

-  `django-backblazeb2-storage <https://github.com/royendgel/django-backblazeb2-storage>`__

   -  Simple configuration ✅
   -  Not based around python SDK (potentially harder to keep up with
      version changes) ❌
   -  Tests?? ❌

S3 Compatible API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Backblazed can be used with an `S3-compatible
API <https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/s3_compatible_api.html>`__ This
is great, but most packages use an older version of the S3 Api (v2).
Backblaze uses v4.

What this package offers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  Type Annotations
-  Tested
-  No hacks required to get up and running around API deficiencies (any
   hacks are not exposed in API)
-  Support for public/private files, restricted via Django user
   permissions

How it works
------------

-  A simple implementation of the ``django.core.files.storage.Storage``
   class provides handling for storage behaviour within your Django
   application
-  Three url routes are appended to the root of your application:

   1. ``/b2/``
   2. ``/b2l/``
   3. ``/b2s/`` These routes act as a proxy/intermediary between the
      requester and backblaze b2 apis. The public ``/b2/`` allows
      exposing files from a private bucket, and the logged-in and staff
      routes will perform the known validations of a django app to
      prevent unauthorized access.

Gotchas
~~~~~~~

-  The original filename + any upload paths is stored in the database.
   Thus your column name must be of sufficient length to hold that
   (unchanged behaviour from ``FileSystemStorage``)
-  When retrieving files from the ``PublicStorage``, ``LoggedInStorage``
   or ``StaffStorage``, you may not override the ``"bucket"`` or
   authorization options, or else when the app proxies the file
   download, it will be unable to retrieve the file from the respective
   bucket.
-  Simply using ``LoggedInStorage`` or ``StaffStorage`` is not enough to
   protect your files if your bucket is not public. If any individual
   gains access to the file ids/urls for these files, there is no
   authentication around them. It is up to the implementer to ensure the
   security of their application.
-  Once the file is uploaded, and someone obtains a file url
   (e.g. http://djangodomain.com/b2l/uploads/image.png), the model will
   no longer be checked for the file. This means that if you share the
   bucket between multiple use-cases, you could in theory find finds
   that don’t belong to your django app, or similarly if you
   delete/change your models, the files could still be downloaded.
   Consider using an app like
   `django-cleanup <https://github.com/un1t/django-cleanup>`__ if this
   is important to you
