Parse Server S3 file adapter with Heroku app - heroku

Question

I am trying to set up the s3 file adapter but I'm not sure if i am getting the formatting of something incorrect or something. I have followed this:
https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-server/wiki/Configuring-File-Adapters#configuring-s3adapter
Guide exactly but when i uncomment the block of code below and put in my aws credentials then push the setup back to Heroku the app or dashboard won't start any longer, saying there is an application error:
//**** File Storage ****//
filesAdapter: new S3Adapter(
{
"xxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxx",
{directAccess: true}
}
)

Answer 1

I would set it up as follows for Heroku:
Make sure that after performing all steps described in the guide your policy looks similar to this:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:*"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME",
"arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*"
]
}
]
}
Now apply this policy to the bucket: select your bucket in S3 console, tap ‘Properties’ button in the top right corner. Expand ‘Permissions’ section, press ‘Edit bucket policy’ and paste json above in the text field.
Configure Parse Server in the index.js file:
var S3Adapter = require('parse-server').S3Adapter;
var s3Adapter = new S3Adapter(
"AWS_KEY",
"AWS_SECRET_KEY",
"bucket-name",
{ directAccess: true }
);
and add two lines to the Parse Server init (var api = new ParseServer({..})):
filesAdapter: s3Adapter,
fileKey: process.env.PARSE_FILE_KEY

Answer 2

Similar to Cliff's post, .S3Adapter has to be outside the ()
var S3Adapter = require('parse-server').S3Adapter;
And then inside parse server init:
filesAdapter: new S3Adapter(
{
accessKey: process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY || '',
secretKey: process.env.S3_SECRET_KEY || '',
bucket: process.env.S3_BUCKET || '',
directAccess: true
}
)
This worked in this case.
