Configuring S3 Uploads in a Multi-Site Environment

User itsbhanusharma is seeking advice on how to migrate to S3 for multiple sites and has several questions regarding the process.

ashishprajapati provides a solution, recommending the use of the rake uploads:migrate_to_s3 command, which will automatically run for all databases present in the multisite.yml file. If a specific database needs to be targeted, the RAILS_DB parameter can be used.

Additionally, ashishprajapati confirms that the system can create its folder structure in S3 with multiple sites and that the same URL for assets CDN works fine for S3 files CDN as well.

Per my understanding, This should be done through the env variables but I had a few questions that popped up in my mind.

  1. How to do migrate to s3 for all sites? My understanding is that the per site migrate should be run with RAILS_DB= parameter but is there a more simpler way to implement this across all sites instead of running it multiple times for all the sites?

  2. Is the system able to create it’s folder structure in s3 with multiple sites as well?

  3. For the assets cdn, the same URL works fine for multisite. It it true for the s3 files CDN as well?

Any tips here @vinothkannans?

Rake Command:
rake uploads:migrate_to_s3
FYI: This above rake task will run for all
the databases present in multisite.yml file. You don’t need to run it for each db. I did that earlier for my one of the client and it worked smoothly. If you want to run for specific db then you can just mention RAILS_DB=‘parameter’ . If you will ignore it (RAILS_DB) then it will work for all
the databases present in multisite

Yes that’s true!

Yes that’s true!

I tried these things recently and very confident with that.

Thanks,
