Looking for integration plugin with AWS S3

Post by sangat » Sat Jan 25, 2025 2:23 pm

We are looking for a plugin to integrate AWS S3 with Joomla 5.x.
An alternative is to have the ability to change default storage location (internal/external storage) for Media Manager.

Plugin developers, perhaps this is an opportunity!

Joomla - Separation of static/dynamic features

Post by sangat » Sat Jan 25, 2025 8:18 pm

I understand that Joomla cant be classified as a Static website, but I am wondering if its possible to relocate some files. For example, if joomla files (in the httpdocs directory) are located on NAS but MYSQL and PHP remain 'as is' - would performance suffer?
First of all, is this an acceptable approach?

Background
We are setting up a social network site with AWS components, including S3. We would like to configure Apache's httpdocs root on S3 for huge amount of media content. So, plan is to install Joomla on S3, assuming the location of just the files and folders will not impact performance.

iframe to include pages?
Absolute url's to images?

Thanks. I have installed the Akeeba plugin, and need to go a bit further.
One challenge with moving media files to S3 is that Media Manager stores files in "root/images" directory where Joomla is installed. So, Joomla would have to be installed on S3 so all media files go there too.
I am no expert, but I am assuming that S3 should be attached to server as a file system so Apache can be configured to set httpdocs directory to the S3 file system.
Am I missing something?

You need to learn that the Joomla 4 media manager has different filesystem plugins like the Akeeba S3 plugin, which DONT store your images in the sites folders - but DO store the images in a different file system, like S3.

read the documentation here https://github.com/akeeba/plg_filesyste ... s/index.md

what you are asking for is provided 100% by that plugin.

Thanks, Phil!
Perhaps I am missing one critical link.
I can see the S3 bucket, but how do I direct Joomla to use the S3 bucket as the Media Manager?
