Storage
=======
AlekSIS needs a writable storage, both for media files (pictures,
generated PDF files, and the like), and to store generated frontend
assets like the themed CSS stylesheet.
.. note::
Everything except this media storage can be mounted and used
entirely read-only, i.e. to keep the AlekSIS installation immutable.
Local filesystem storage
------------------------
By default, the media storage resides in the local filesystem, in the
location defined in the ``static.root`` configuration key.
.. warning::
Do not expose the media storage directly through a webserver.
AlekSIS uses a specially protected storage framework that
employs cryptographic tokens to protect user data from URL
guessing.
Amazon S3 (or other S#-compatible storage)
------------------------------------------
AlekSIS allows you to configure an Amazon S3 endpoint for static and media
AlekSIS allows you to configure an Amazon S3 endpoint for media
files. This is useful e.g. for loadbalancing with multiple AlekSIS
instances.
