Amazon S3 Storage plugin for Para

What is this?

Para was designed as a simple and modular back-end framework for object persistence and retrieval. It enables your application to store objects directly to a data store (NoSQL) or any relational database (RDBMS) and it also automatically indexes those objects and makes them searchable.

This plugin allows Para to store files in Amazon S3.

Getting started

The plugin is on Maven Central. Here's the Maven snippet to include in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.erudika</groupId>
  <artifactId>para-storage-s3</artifactId>
  <version>{see_green_version_badge_above}</version>
</dependency>

Alternatively you can download the JAR from the "Releases" tab above put it in a lib folder alongside the server WAR file para-x.y.z.war. Para will look for plugins inside lib and pick up the S3 plugin.

Configuration

Here are all the configuration properties for this plugin (these go inside your application.conf):

para.s3.bucket = "org.paraio.us-east-1"
para.s3.max_filesize_mb = 10

Finally, set the config property:

para.fs = "AWSFileStore"

This could be a Java system property or part of a application.conf file on the classpath. This tells Para to use the S3 FileStore implementation instead of the default one.

Requirements

• AWS Java SDK v2
• Para Core
