Hello,
We would like our users to upload files (images specifically but hopefully video later), however since we are running Discourse using Docker, there’s no point in Discourse storing the files locally before the files are sent to S3.
Is there anyway we can bypass Discourse’s local storage and just fire the images off to S3 straight away when someone uploads a file?
Thanks,
Amoncadot

No. The upload handling would have to be significantly reworked to go straight to S3.

I would like us to get to direct s3 uploads using some sort of ticket system. The big problem though is that this would only be useful for attachments, it is critical all images go via the app.
For images we always do a bit of magic first, ensuring giant PNGs turn into JPEGS and such.
I don’t see us working on this in the next few months at least.

이것은 이제 진행 중인 프로젝트입니다:

This has been part of an overall effort within core to replace usages of [jQuery file upload](https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload) from our codebase, as part of an even broader overall effort to replace usages of jQuery itself from our codebase. jQuery file uploader is a very old project, and has been part of Discourse core since almost the beginning. I think I’ve used it for my whole career in other projects as well. But it’s time to…
