We have a requirement to run Umbraco in an Elastic Beanstalk load-balanced environment, which I believe presents some difficulties for Forms due to to the files stored in /App_Data/UmbracoForms/Data.
We use the NuGet package Umbraco.Storage.S3 to offload media to S3, and I'm wondering if it is possible to do something similar with Forms (I've tried doing this, but haven't had much success).
Has anyone successfully used this NuGet package in this way, or had success with an alternative S3 package?
adding a new "forms" alias to the FileSystemProviders should work but on my initial go it doesn't seem to work 100%.
when I create a form the folders and json forms files are saved to my S3 bucket.
However, retrieval doesn't work. It keeps adding extra "forms/" onto my path route for every request, which eventually means it crashes with some overflow exception.
There is something a miss when you use your own filesystemProvider with forms... the hunt continues...
I suspect a bug in the umbraco.storage.S3: I remember implementing "media" about a year ago and if we used a bucketKeyPrefix that wasn't set to "media" it didn't work. It feels related....
Forms and .json files in S3
Hi all,
We have a requirement to run Umbraco in an Elastic Beanstalk load-balanced environment, which I believe presents some difficulties for Forms due to to the files stored in
/App_Data/UmbracoForms/Data.We use the NuGet package
Umbraco.Storage.S3to offload media to S3, and I'm wondering if it is possible to do something similar with Forms (I've tried doing this, but haven't had much success).Has anyone successfully used this NuGet package in this way, or had success with an alternative S3 package?
Thanks, Chris
Umbraco: 7.6.3, Forms: 6.0.2

Phil – this is what I ended up getting when using the 'forms' alias. ;-(
