Django compressor and Cloudfront - django

Question

I use AWS S3 to store my Django static files (using django-storages). And alternate cloudfront domain name to serve these files.
I am unable to finish Django compressor via python manage.py compress.
This is the error I see:
CommandError: An error occurred during rendering /home/ubuntu/foldername/templates/home/xxx.html: 'https://xxx.domainname.com/static/plugins/xxx-xxx/xxx.js' isn't accessible via COMPRESS_URL ('https://s3bucket-static.s3.amazonaws.com/') and can't be compressed
So I tried using the default cloudfront address, alternate domain name and S3 bucket for COMPRESS_URL:
https://s3bucket-static.s3.amazonaws.com/
https://s3bucket-static.s3.amazonaws.com/static/
https://d1231232131241123.cloudfront.net/
https://d1231232131241123.cloudfront.net/static/
https://xxx.domainname.com/
https://xxx.domainname.com/static/
Only https://domainname.com/static/ don't have error. What happen is that after compress is done, the CACHE folder appear inside the local instance staticfiles folder. Which is wrong since I wanted the CACHE folder to be inside the S3 bucket.
Here are my settings for django compressor:
# django-compressor
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder',
)
COMPRESS_ENABLED = True
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True
if not DEBUG:
COMPRESS_URL = env('COMPRESS_URL')
Here are my django-storages settings:
if not DEBUG:
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = env('AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME')
AWS_DEFAULT_ACL = None
AWS_CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN_NAME = env('AWS_CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN_NAME')
AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN = f'{AWS_CLOUDFRONT_DOMAIN_NAME}.com'
AWS_S3_OBJECT_PARAMETERS = {
'CacheControl': 'max-age=86400',
}
AWS_LOCATION = 'static'
settings for static files:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles/')
STATICFILES_DIRS = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')

Answer 1

It worked after I changed my django-compressor settings to this:
# django-compressor
COMPRESS_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder',
)
COMPRESS_ENABLED = True
COMPRESS_OFFLINE = True
if not DEBUG:
STATIC_URL = f'https://{AWS_S3_CUSTOM_DOMAIN}/static/'
COMPRESS_ROOT = STATIC_ROOT
COMPRESS_URL = STATIC_URL
