On my job we need save all upload files for 5 year. Losing a lot space on server with this files, because this I created this application.
FILE_COMPRESS_DELETE_OLD_FILE = True # to delete old files after compressed FILE_COMPRESS_DELETE_OLD_FILE = False # to not delete old files after compressed # Feature only for version v9.0+ FILE_COMPRESS_QUEUE = 'Celery' # by default queue is Celery, but you can change this with this var on settings INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... ... 'compress_field', )# example model.py from django.db import models from compress_field import ZipFileField class MyContent(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=150) create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) upload_file = ZipFileField(upload_to='mycontent/') def __unicode__(self): return self.name>>> from example.core import MyContent >>> m = MyContent.objects.get(id=2) >>> m.upload_file <ZipCompressFieldFile: mycontent/test.txt> >>> m.upload_file.compress() >>> m.upload_file <ZipCompressFieldFile: mycontent/test.zip>If Celery are installed on Site Packages. You just need create one post_save on your model to use async compress.
# listeners.py file from django.db.models.signals import post_save def auto_compress_file_on_post_save(sender, instance, **kargs): instance.upload_file.compress() post_save.connect(auto_compress_file_on_post_save, sender=MyContent)If you don´t wanna use Celery async compress:
def auto_compress_file_on_post_save(sender, instance, **kargs): instance.upload_file.compress(async=False) post_save.connect(auto_compress_file_on_post_save, sender=MyContent)# download code git clone https://github.com/valdergallo/django-compress-field # install developer packages setup.py develop # test project pytest . #clean extra content setup.py clean
