s3manifestcollectstatic

Optimized collectstatic for S3ManifestStaticStorage

Installation

1. Install the package

pip install s3manifestcollectstatic

2. Add s3manifestcollectstatic to INSTALLED_APPS

Description

collectstatic can take a long time. When used with storages.backends.s3boto3.S3ManifestStaticStorage, collectstatic uploads the files twice, once without the hash at the end of the file name, and once with the hash. Also, it doesn't use multiple threads to upload to s3.

s3manifestcollectstatic uploads the files only once, uses threads to speed things up, and doesn't upload the files that are already on S3.

./manage.py s3manifestcollectstatic -w 4
