6. Storages

sendmail supports integration with django-storages. By default FileSystemStorage is used for storing sendmail data. You can override this behaviour by specifying STORAGES config in settings.py.

For example for configuring MiniIO (compatible with S3 API):

Install django-storages and boto3:

pip install django-storages boto3

To your installed apps add storages

Define your storages:

STORAGES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage",
        "OPTIONS": {
            "endpoint_url": 'http://138.232.3.68:9000',  # Note the lowercase 'endpoint_url'
            'access_key': 'minioadmin',
            'secret_key': 'minioadmin',
            'bucket_name': 'media',
            'querystring_auth': False,
            'use_ssl': False,  # Set this to True if you use HTTPS
            'file_overwrite': False,  # Optional: set to False to avoid overwriting files with the same name
        },
    },
    'staticfiles': {
        "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage",
        "OPTIONS": {
            "endpoint_url": 'http://138.232.3.68:9000',  # Note the lowercase 'endpoint_url'
            'access_key': 'minioadmin',
            'secret_key': 'minioadmin',
            'bucket_name': 'static',
            'querystring_auth': False,
            'use_ssl': False,  # Set this to True if you use HTTPS
            'file_overwrite': False,  # Optional: set to False to avoid overwriting files with the same name
        },
    },
    'sendmail_attachments': {
        "BACKEND": "storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage",
        "OPTIONS": {
            "endpoint_url": 'http://138.232.3.68:9000',
            'access_key': 'minioadmin',
            'secret_key': 'minioadmin',
            'bucket_name': 'attachments',
            'querystring_auth': True,
            'use_ssl': False,
            'file_overwrite': False,
        }
    }
}

• default storage is used to store mediafiles. In context of boto3 it should always have querystring_auth = False. To ensure proper work of ckeditor_uploader.

• staticfiles storage is used to store project staticfiles. As project depends on ckeditor it should always have querystring_auth = False.

• sendmail_attachments storage used to store ckeditor attachments. Defaults to default_storage. Strongly recommended to override it with any private storage.
