Hi,

Can we use the below given package to store the files on s3. As i do not want to put the s3 bucket credentials in the config files.

Hi,

The lib is very bloated. We didn't want to use it. The app initialization would take longer. Maybe there's a way to achieve what you need with the League's library?

How the credentials are supposed to be stored if not in a file?

Hi,

i hava a project built in laravel.There i do not store any s3 credentials in the files or db it is directly controlled by the s3 secret manager so that the security doen't compromise as we do not store the keys and secret . can we have same way here as well?

Here's the docs for AsyncAws, the library we use: https://async-aws.com/clients/s3.html

Nice. It would be great if you could share some tips on how you configured it with community.

Sure, It is quite easy as the document states that we do not need any additional configuration to implement that. We just need to put the below details in config-internal.php.

'awsS3Storage'=>[
'bucketName'=>'espocrm',
'region'=>'your region',
'path'=>'uploads'
]
and the below line in config.php

'defaultFileStorage' => 'AwsS3',

That's it
