Aliyun OSS static files upload for serverless

Installation

npm install --save serverless-aliyun-oss

Dependencies

This plugin needs serverless-aliyun-function-compute installed and configured to be able to interact with Aliyun.

Notice on usage in Mainland China

Even if the files are uploaded to OSS, they are not usable right away, a CDN needs to be bound to it to be able to access them directly as indicated in an Aliyun communication.

Other regions, such as HongKong allow direct access to the files as normal HTML pages.

Usage

First, update your serverless.yml by adding the following:

plugins:
  - serverless-aliyun-function-compute
  - serverless-aliyun-oss

Second, Create a website folder in the root directory of your Serverless project. This is where your distribution-ready website should live. By default the plugin expects the files to live in a folder called client/dist. But this is configurable with the distributionFolder option (see the Configuration Parameters below).

The plugin uploads the entire distributionFolder to S3 and configures the bucket to host the website and make it publicly available, also setting other options based the Configuration Parameters specified in serverless.yml.

Third, run the plugin, and visit your new website!

serverless client deploy

WARNING: The plugin will overwrite any data you have in the bucket name you set above if it already exists.

If later on you want to take down the website you can use:

serverless client remove
