Quick BASH script to upload a file or directory to S3 and get a URL. It creates part of a sha1sum of the file(s) for each upload, so that you can easily upload different files with the same filename, as well as make it difficult to guess other links (eg. /h3kdfe/Screenshot_002.png, /ang49df3/Screenshot_003.png). Depends on the AWS CLI.
-
First request an Amazon Certificate Manager certificate in the us-east-1 region (regardless where you want this stack/s3 bucket in); this is because CloudFront can only work with certs in the us-east-1 region. If you're using a subdomain, and you want the request email to go to your parent domain, you can use something like: aws --region us-east-1 acm request-certificate --domain-name files.yourdomain.com --domain-validation-options "DomainName=files.yourdomain.com,ValidationDomain=yourdomain.com" Note down the ARN of the certificate
-
Create a CloudFormation stack using the uploads3_cloudformation.yml template
-
Go to the Stack Output and get the ScriptUserAccessKey & ScriptUserSecretKey, and use it to create a uploads3 profile in your AWS CLI, eg. : ~/.aws/config
[profile uploads3]
output = json
region = ap-southeast-2
~/.aws/credentials
[uploads3]
aws_access_key_id = ABCDE12345667
aws_secret_access_key = 123456$1234etc
-
If you haven't used the CloudFormation template, then create an S3 bucket, along with a user with an access/secret key to access that bucket, and configure your AWS CLI. Optionally, create a new profile in your AWS CLI (eg. called uploads3) with that/your user that can write to that bucket.
-
Keep a config file called ~/.uploads3.conf with:
# Upload S3 config
aws_profile="uploads3"
bucket="files.yourdomain.com"
# With CloudFront (using the CloudFormation template):
base_url="https://$bucket"
# Without CloudFront
base_url="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/$bucket"-
Keep the uploads3 script somewhere (eg ~/bin or /usr/local/bin)
-
Test an upload:
uploads3 ~/somefile.jpg
