Questions about post Amazon-S3 setup

[geekmy]

I've got a question. I am running Chevereto 3.6.1 at the moment, on nginx and php-fpm. Everything is fine and dandy (many thanks to many forumers here!). Recently I have set up an amazon s3 bucket, and have successfully configured chevereto to use S3 storage.

The thing is, it works for any images uploaded after I've set up the S3 configuration. Is there a method where I can move all my existing contents to S3? I can manually move/copy the files over to S3, but I am not sure on how to update all the image records in the database to point to the S3 counterpart.

Another question is, assuming I have successfully moved the images over to S3, how do I redirect requests to the old image url to the S3 one?

There isn't an automatic method to put the old images into S3. In this case you will need to manually move to S3 everything (image folders included) and then map those images to the S3 storage id. You will also need to take all those image bytes into the storage bytes "used" field.

To redirect the old links you will need custom rules for nginx, which is something that you can find everywhere. It just need you to put the rules there.
