Uploading files to AWS with paperclip - ruby-on-rails

I'm currently trying to upload images to AWS but keep getting Aws::Errors::MissingCredentialsError: unable to sign request without credentials set.
In my current setup I configure paperclip defaults setting as the following in my application.rb file.
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV["s3_bucket"],
:access_key_id => ENV["s3_access_key_id"],
:s3_secret_access_key => ENV["s3_secret_access_key"],
:s3_region => ENV["s3_region"]
}
}
Then in my application.yml I set the values of the variables like so
development:
s3_bucket: "open-doors-dev"
production:
s3_bucket: "open-doors-pro"
s3_region: "us-west-1"
s3_access_key_id: "MY ACCESS KEY HERE"
s3_secret_access_key: "MY SECRET KEY HERE"
However when I try and test this code in the rails console I get the above error. I printed out the values of config.paperclip_defaults in my code and they match the values that I supplied in application.yml so I do not understand why this code is failing.

I figured out what was going wrong. I had two problem the first being that in paper_clip defaults; :s3_secret_access_key should have just been secret_access_key the second being I had to change my policy to an inline policy though I'm unsure as to why that was giving me an error.

AWS Access Key not working in rails app

I have a rails app setup with paperclip and aws-sdk
My aws.yml file is below:
development:
access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
production:
access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
My development.rb file is here:
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET']
}
}
I'm 100% sure my keys are correct. I've double, triple and quadruple checked the keys. I first tried an Iam user key, but that didn't work, then I tried creating a root key and that didn't work either. I'm back to using a brand new Iam user key and that user has full S3 access.
/config/initializers/algoliasearch.rb uses an environment variable just fine:
AlgoliaSearch.configuration = { application_id: 'xxxxxx', api_key: ENV['algolia_admin_api_key'] }
Still, though, when I try to upload a file in my development environment I get the InvalidAccessKey error from aws. I haven't tried it on production yet because that's using the same keys (just the bucket name is different).
Am I using the wrong keys? Or is something preventing my key from being accessed? I can't find anything telling me how to set my keys up properly and I'm completely lost. I know I got this working before and can't remember there being any other steps.
I figured out the solution: I had to add the s3 credentials to the production.rb and development.rb environment files:
# development.rb
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['AWS_BUCKET'],
:access_key_id => ENV['HOMEIN_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['HOMEIN_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
}
}
They're both the same, except for the bucket name.
I feel like there's a more elegant solution that I don't know of, though...

Paperclip/Rails not reading ENV variables with AWS information

I am trying to use paperclip with S3 AWS. I have set the secret keys and bucket name in the .bash_profile but Rials/Paperclip cannot seem to read them as i get the following error when i try to upload an image in development...
'missing required :bucket option'
If i replace the ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'] with the actual name, i then get the following...
'Missing Credentials. Unable to find AWS credentials'
Here is the set-up in the model...
has_attached_file :image, :styles => { :medium => "300x300>", :thumb => "100x100>" },
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'],
:access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
},
:s3_host_name => 's3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com'
I have tried putting the credentials in the development config file in Rails but i have the same errors. Do i need to tell rails where to look for the ENV variables or am I doing something else wrong here? It seems others are having similar issues but i cannot find a solution.
Thanks for reading.
Just store the AWS bucket, key and key_id in a YAML file and in 'config/initializers', create a new file to read the YAML file contents and set the corresponding ENV variables. Don't forget to restart your rails server
Example
google_client = YAML.load_file("#{Rails.root.join('config/google_client.yml')}")
ENV['GOOGLE_APP_NAME'] = google_client['APP_NAME']
ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID'] = google_client['CLIENT_ID']
ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET'] = google_client['CLIENT_SECRET']
ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_SCOPE'] = google_client['CLIENT_SCOPE']
Typically, we do not push the aws info in Github commit but just ssh to the remote server and place the YAML file in the config folder in our Rails app. So only people who have access to your server can read your aws credentials and not all people even if they have Github access.
tell me if this solves your problem.

Paperclip uploads on Heroku using S3

I'm sorry to rehash an old gripe but I'm at my wits end and not sure where to go next. I am using Paperclip on Heroku and have S3 uploads configured. I was able to get things working in my local development environment but once it's running on Heroku I run into this error:
AWS::S3::Errors::PermanentRedirect (The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.
I've googled this error and read through the Heroku documentation and I believe I have everything set up correctly. I initially thought that my problems stemmed from having my bucket in the s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com region, but I'm not convinced anymore.
Here are the relevant parts of my Heroku config:
AWS_REGION: us-west-1
S3_BUCKET_NAME: my-super-awesomely-amazing-bucket
From my config/environments/production.rb file:
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME'],
:access_key_id => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
}
}
My paperclip.rb initialize file:
if Rails.env.production?
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:url] = ':s3_domain_url'
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:path] = '/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename'
Paperclip::Attachment.default_options[:s3_host_name] = 's3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com'
end
And my paperclip config from the relevant model:
has_attached_file :document,
:styles => { },
:default_url => "/image_styles/:style/missing.png"
So...what am I doing wrong here? At this point I'm sure I've missed something obvious but I'm stumped on where to go from here. I feel like I've assiduously configured everything and yet that PermanentRedirect error keeps coming up.
Bucket
This might not be the direct solution, but we've found that you have to include the bucket option outside of your s3_credentials block:
#config/environments/production.rb
config.paperclip_defaults = {
storage: :s3,
s3_host_name: 's3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com',
s3_credentials: {
access_key_id: ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
secret_access_key: ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
},
bucket: ENV['S3_BUCKET_NAME']
}
This is working 100% for us on Heroku, but whether it wil work for you (as your bucket is in a different region) is a different matter
If you need more help, ask a comment and I'll gladly give you some ideas
Try this link http://adamthedeveloper.blogspot.in/2014/02/awss3permanentredirect-bucket-you-are.html . Previously this happened to Europe region buckets only and get resolved by setting AWS::S3::DEFAULT_HOST. Hope this solve your issue.

Paperclip/heroku/S3 Configuration is setup as best as I can tell but getting error on upload

Here's the error I get when I try to upload an image through the live site:
ArgumentError (missing required :bucket option):
app/controllers/editions_controller.rb:53:in `block in create'
app/controllers/editions_controller.rb:52:in `create'
I have the latest versions of aws-sdk and paperclip
I've got the following in production.rb
config.paperclip_defaults = {
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['bucket_name'],
:access_key_id => ENV['key'],
:secret_access_key => ENV['key2']
}
I've got my AWS_BUCKET set on my heroku app:
AWS_BUCKET: bucket_name
S3_BUCKET_NAME: bucket_name
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: key2
Can anybody suggest why this isn't working? Thanks.
You've got:
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['bucket_name']
}
I've always been told that you should capitalize the constants like so:
:s3_credentials => {
:bucket => ENV['BUCKET_NAME']
}
Additionally, you have not actually set an ENV variable called BUCKET_NAME on heroku, you have the following:
AWS_BUCKET: bucket_name
But if your env var is called BUCKET_NAME, then you need the following instead:
BUCKET_NAME: bucket_name
So from the commane line you'd want to run something like heroku config:set BUCKET_NAME=bucket_name
And finally, you've changed the names of your env vars from those that are suggested in the paperclip readme. You've gone with ENV['BUCKET_NAME'] when everyone else uses ENV['AWS_BUCKET']. I dunno if that will effect anything, but try using the process outlined here by heroku.
Try those changes and let me know how they work out. Good luck.

aws-s3 error: AWS::S3::MissingAccessKey error, but keys have been defined?

I'm pretty new to ROR. I've recently deployed an app on heroku and have tried to add an attachment function to the app via paperclip.
I've followed all the steps in adding aws-s3 to my app. Here was my initial code:
user.rb (model)
has_attached_file :avatar,
:styles => {:small => "70x70>"},
:storage => :s3,
:s3_credentials => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/s3.yml",
:path => ":attachment/:id/:style/:basename.:extension"
validates_attachment_size :avatar, :less_than => 1.megabytes
validates_attachment_content_type :avatar, :content_type => ['image/jpeg', 'image/png']
s3.yml (file is located in config folder) note: all of these buckets exist on my aws-s3
development:
bucket: my_avatar-dev
access_key_id: amazonaccesskey
secret_access_key: amazon_secret_access_key
test:
bucket: myapp_avatar-test
access_key_id: amazonaccesskey
secret_access_key: amazon_secret_access_key
production:
bucket: myapp_avatar-pro
access_key_id: amazonaccesskey
secret_access_key: amazon_secret_access_key
gemfile
gem 'aws-s3'
When running this configuration, I would get a error page 500 error when loading my app. Running Heroku logs showed the following error: AWS::S3::MissingAccessKey (You did not provide both required access keys.
So I followed some advice and defined the key and secret_key as environment variables to heroku, using the following line of code:
heroku config:add S3_KEY=amazonaccesskey S3_SECRET=amazon_secret_key
I then added an initializer to test environments and launch via key or .yml file depending on environment, code is as follows:
initializers/s3.rb
if Rails.env == "production"
# set credentials from ENV hash
S3_CREDENTIALS = { :access_key_id => ENV['S3_KEY'], :secret_access_key => ENV['S3_SECRET'], :bucket => "myapp_avatar-pro"}
else
# get credentials from YML file
S3_CREDENTIALS = Rails.root.join("config/s3.yml")
end
user.rb model was then update to the following:
has_attached_file :avatar, :storage => :s3, :s3_credentials => S3_CREDENTIALS
I then deployed to heroku and tested the app, but I still keep getting the same error (page 500) and error code: AWS::S3::MissingAccessKey (You did not provide both required access keys.
How is this possible if I have defined the variables in heroku? Is there something I am missing? Is it possible it's something with the gem? Also, I'm using HAML for styling... not sure that matters at all, but just in case it does. I'm quite lost, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Having just worked through the same problem and trawling a number of similar posts. I found that any of the possible configurations in the above answer i.e. declaring all of the hashes in the model, using the .yml or using the initializer all work fine from my dev and on heroku as long as the S3 bucket is of US Standard type> The choice is just about how DRY you want to be.
When I originally set S3 up, I used a European bucket. This gave me the spurious error message:
AWS::S3::MissingAccessKey (You did not provide both required access keys.
I note from the AWS site : http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/general/latest/gr/index.html?rande.html
that AWS uses a specific endpoint address for each region to reduce latency and am guessing (because I am a novice coder) that the US standard is either a default or coded into the AWS-S3 plugin. (Maybe someone can edit this up into a more complete answer?)
I solved this problem with this:
:s3_credentials => {
:access_key_id => 'mykey',
:secret_access_key => 'mykey'
