Multipart uploads and storage ownership¶

Multipart request parsing, validation, size limits and explicit storage I/O in a thread-sensitive worker.

Run with Docker¶

From the repository root:

docker compose -f examples/compose.yaml up --build --wait uploads
docker compose -f examples/compose.yaml exec uploads python manage.py check

The API is available on http://127.0.0.1:8109. See container setup for port overrides, required services, optional profiles, tests and data retention. The commands below run the same application directly with uv.

Run¶

From this directory (Python 3.12+ and uv):

uv venv
uv pip install --python .venv/bin/python -r pyproject.toml --group test -e ../..
uv run --no-sync python manage.py check
uv run --no-sync uvicorn project.asgi:application --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8109

Change --host and --port as needed. For another hostname also set EXAMPLE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=localhost,127.0.0.1,your-host. The default is loopback. This is an independent uv project using the local aiodrf checkout through [tool.uv.sources]; it imports no other example.

Requests¶

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8109/upload/ -F 'file=@README.md'

Tests¶

uv run --no-sync pytest -q

Tests exercise the actual ASGI application with lifespan startup/shutdown. Database tests use an isolated test database.

Compatibility and limits¶

The filesystem storage is local and non-public. The response exposes only the generated storage name, never a filesystem path. For S3, configure Django STORAGES with django-storages and credentials managed by your deployment. The application owns upload validation, quotas, retention and object access.

The settings use a development secret key and a deliberately simple permission policy: do not deploy this project as it is. See the feature guide and the example catalogue.
