File uploading to AWS S3 buckets from a Next.js project.

This repo shows file upload, list, display and delete of private files in S3, from Next.js.

Demo: https://nextjs-s3-upload.vercel.app

Setup

You'll need an S3 bucket and AWS credentials to run the app. See section at bottom if you haven't got this already.

Set up env

Copy .env.example files to .env.local

cp .env.example .env.local

Replace with your aws region, bucket name and keys

S3_BUCKET_REGION=eu-north-1
S3_BUCKET_NAME=my.bucket.name
SECRET_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAMyAWSAccessId......
SECRET_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XMyAWSSecret.......

Install and run

yarn
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Add S3 bucket and IAM user

You'll need an S3 bucket and AWS credentials to run the app.

Manually

• Navigate to AWS console and create a regular S3 bucket.
• Preferably, create a new IAM user and download its keys.

With terraform

Terraform files are added to the infrastructure folder. This will prompt for bucket name, and then create a bucket and an IAM user with necessary permissions.

# Install terraform
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform

# Navigate to terraform files
cd infrastructure

# Download modules
terraform init

# Create stuff. Will prompt for info and confirmation
terraform apply
