Issues uploading to s3 #21

Closed cjinfantino closed 7 years ago

cjinfantino commented 7 years ago

I am getting the following error when trying to add an image to a post:

"nodebb-plugin-s3-uploads-updated :: Missing credentials in config"

I setup the bucket name and path in the DB section and created and IAM user with permission to the bucket in AWS.

I'm not sure exactly where I setup the credentials for the user in the plugin.

You can either set them by environment variables or in the settings which you will find in the nav bar.

cjinfantino commented 7 years ago

What "nav bar". Are you referring to the settings->plugin->s3 configs? The only options I see to input are to store in the DB.

And if I used ENV variables how would you make them persist? And doesn't that defeat the purpose because it's stored in plain text somewhere.

cjinfantino commented 7 years ago

I was able to get it to work via env variables.

I noticed that all the uploads are getting public open/download permissions. I was thinking that the plugin would be querying aws to view the file via the access_id setup.

But it appears the file needs to be public. Is this the case?

LouiseMcMahon commented 7 years ago

Yes it just hotlinks the files

also if you scroll down in that settings page area you should see Credentials thats where you put the aws key
