S3 Media Sync

This plugin syncs the uploads directory of a VIP Platform WordPress environment to an AWS S3 instance.

Props to S3-Uploads and Human Made for creating much of the functionality: https://github.com/humanmade/S3-Uploads

Setup

Build the plugin

This plugin uses composer as a package manager. After downloading the plugin (as a ZIP file or via git pull) run one of the following commands:

• For production: composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
• For development: composer install

Running one of the above commands will create a vendor directory which is required for the plugin to function correctly. Applications that are using CI/CD already run one of these commands automatically and can skip this step.

Activate the plugin

• Commit the plugin to your application's plugins directory.
• Activate the plugin through code or within the WordPress Admin dashboard.
• Create an IAM user with Programmatic Access.
• Enter the provided AWS S3 API keys on the plugins's Settings page.
• Backfill the uploads directory on AWS by running the following command:

wp s3-media upload-all --url=example-site.com

FAQ

How can I upload media to a subdirectory in S3?

As an example, you already have a bucket named my-awesome-site but you want all of your media to go into a preprod subdirectory of that bucket. To configure media to upload to that subdirectory, go to the S3 Media Sync settings page and enter the following for the S3 Bucket Name field:

my-awesome-site/preprod

Then, all media will automatically be kept in-sync within my-awesome-site/preprod/wp-content/uploads.

How can I confirm if all of the attachments were uploaded?

You can check which attachments were skipped by running the following command:

wp vip migration validate-attachments invalid-attachments.csv --url=example-site.com

The generated log file will be available at invalid-attachments.csv. The full command can be found here:
