A fork / merge of https://github.com/DataShades/ckanext-cloudconnector and https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-s3filestore

This extension was developed and tested under CKAN-2.5

For now extension supports only Amazon S3 Cloud storage. In order to use this extension you should have AWS account because AWS Key and AWS Secret Key are required for connection to Cloud.

To install CKAN CloudConnector:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

   $ . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Install the ckanext-cloudconnector Python package into your virtual environment:

   $ cd /some/dir/ckanext-cloudconnector
   $ python setup.py install
   

3. Add cloud_connector to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/production.ini).

4. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:

   $ sudo service apache2 reload

This extension defines additional settings in config file

 ckanext.cloud_storage.enable=true|false                      //is connector enabled or not?
 ckanext.cloud_storage.s3.aws_key=AWS_S3_KEY                  //customer key of your AWS instance
 ckanext.cloud_storage.s3.secret_key=AWS_S3_SECRET            //secret key of your AWS instance
 ckanext.cloud_storage.s3.bucket=YOUR_BUCKET_NAME             //Name of bucket on S3
 ckanext.cloud_storage.s3.endpoint=https://s3.amazonaws.com/  // Bucket endpoint
 ckanext.cloud_storage.path=ckan                              // local path on bucket

To install CKAN CloudConnector for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and do:

 $ cd /some/dir/ckanext-cloudconnector

The original Web administration from https://github.com/DataShades/ckanext-cloudconnector was removed from this fork. Probably it is a bad idea to publish aws key and secret_key as runtime editable options

Only configuration options which are not critical, sensitive or could cause the CKAN instance to break should be made runtime-editable. (Making configuration options runtime-editable )

Config options are available via rest api ckan.logic.action.get.config_option_show

Show the current value of a particular configuration option.

This fork disables the runtime editable option.
