@@bugbytes3923 I'm trying all those settings in production ( nginx) but its doesn't work ! I mean the collectstatic is working correctly and my static are shown inside my bucket in AWS, but when I open my website and inspect images url... still the urls are from relative path not from aws domain why ?

Extremely helpful video! I encountered a bit of a challenge getting it to work on Django 5, but your clear explanations made a big difference. Thank you!

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you got it working with Django 5.

[@keinermendoza4631]

Thanks for explaining this. I was trying to figure out how to implement this kind of CloudFront functionality but in Cloudflare with a custom domain pointing to an R2 bucket. Even though the steps are a bit different, your explanation helps me a lot.

[@bugbytes3923]

Glad it could help!

[@AmiraAsli-t4c]

wow what a brilliant explanation. i wish if you can make a full course on deplying a django website with best practices and production settings

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks - I'll make such a course in the near future for sure!

Thanks Kevin. I'll definitely do some more soon!

Awesome to hear - thanks a lot man!

[@TomislavMiletic]

So, for the last 10 days i have been watching your videos every morning, with a coffee, like a tradition :) Thank you very much, this is the best django tutorial playlist that doesn't cover only beginner stuff like many other channels. When you create a paid course or a paid way to provide more access to you in order to ask questions and solve dev challenges, please let me know!

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot Tomislav! Much appreciated, glad you like the content.

[@troelsfries5672]

I just want to give you a shout-out and say thanks for all the awesome Django videos you've been putting out. Your voice is delightful, and your editing is on point. I'm sure that many of us want you to know that we appreciate your hard work and dedication to helping people. Keep inspiring others to become better programmers. Please. Also, some Azure cloud could be interesting. I just have this nagging feeling that Microsoft will leave everybody behind at this point. Cheers!

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot Troels, that means a lot! Glad you like the content and I'll definitely add some Azure cloud stuff to the to-do list!

I am really enjoying this series. Keep up the good work! ohh, and it would be nice to start some ORM series, messages framework with toastr, deploying django project, etc. I would love to watch those series as well.

Thank you! I have an ORM series that's nearly ready to go, which I'm excited about - I have prepared around 16 videos of content, just need to start recording these. Thank you for your other suggestions and the support!

[@OliverBajusz]

Thanks for the video! Great walkthrough and explanation! Do you happen to have a solution for staticfiles too in a similar way? Problems are arising from accessing them from S3 or CloudFront as for example fonts are imported from a CSS file and these urls won't be signed.

[@atoprak00]

Thanks, amazing content as always. Recently trying to learn Node.Js and Express.Js, I realized that Django is much more simpler. Data modeling, ORM, routing, middleware etc. Setting them up through a third party package kinda looks tiresome, I wonder why it’s more popular that Django since a lot of cool things are already built in. Maybe it looks harder for me since I just started learning Node.Js, I don’t know. Anyways thanks for the good content, keep it up 👍

[@bugbytes3923]

Thank you! I'm glad you like the content. Node.js has a lot to offer but I find the Python backend web frameworks like Django are best suited to my own needs - especially if you're working with data libraries. The ORM remains my favourite thing about Django, and actually I will start releasing an ORM series soon.

Thank you very much. I use aws s3 for my media files and it works fine. For static though I use bundle built by webpack ( incl bootstrap that slows loading time down). I'm just wondering what if i counld use CloudFront instead of webpack bundle? Could it be better? Thx in advance.

If I have a Django app running on Vercel, what would be the correct option to select for the access keys?

[@shubhamjha5738]

Signed url is also publicly accessible, how can i limit it's access inside my vpc only or a particular ec2 instance

[@annihilationHaven]

I'm stuck on how to serve the urls from within the CSS stylesheets. All of those images are not rendering.

[@PrashantDas-m1w]

Thank you for the informative tutorials. Could I ask for your intervention in this matter please. My concern is about media images on AWS S3. I'm able to view them from and save them to S3 when im on localhost everything works well. However when the app is deployed and the website is running live on the internet, I'm only able to view the images that are on S3, but I get the following error while trying to upload images to S3: ClientError at / An error occurred (400) when calling the HeadObject operation: Bad Request at this point in the code: form_instance.save() webite hosted on Vercel via Github DB hosted on Railway. Any input would be of much help, please.

Hi friend.. Iam uploading images successfully in bucket from django admin model. But not able to load them in template. When im going directly to the link its giving me xml code about access denied. Able to load images only if i allow public access

[@bugbytes3923]

Hey - have you added your AWS Access/Secret keys to the Django configuration? These should allow access to the bucket if you've set the S3FullAccess permission for the user in AWS IAM. The user who owns those keys needs S3FullAccess permission in order to access the private resources.

[@tejender_kumar]

Yes i did.. see i am able to upload. But not able to access them unless i turned off block public access

[@tejender_kumar]

Amazons3fullaccess permission is given to group and user is added to that group.. is there anything i need to change in order to access s3 object in django view ?

[@lexe11]

The reason is that bucket region (eu-central-1). They say adding AWS_S3_ADDRESSING_STYLE = 'virtual' to settings does the thing but not in my case. Works with a new bucket on us-east-1 like it should
