## S3 Bucket Configuration

Note that this is optional unless you are working on the part of the application that allows a user to upload images, videos, etc. Please refer to the following [gist](https://gist.github.com/catarak/70c9301f0fd1ac2d6b58de03f61997e3) to set up an S3 bucket to be used with this project.

See [this configuration guide](./s3_configuration.md) for information about how to configure your own S3 bucket. These instructions were adapted from [this gist](https://gist.github.com/catarak/70c9301f0fd1ac2d6b58de03f61997e3).

If your S3 bucket is in the US East (N Virginia) region (us-east-1), you'll
78-
need to set a custom URL base for it, because it does not follow the standard
79-
naming pattern as the rest of the regions. Instead, add the following to your
80-
environment/.env file, changing `BUCKET_NAME` to your bucket name. This is necessary because this override is currently treated as the full path to the bucket rather than as a proper base URL:
81-
`S3_BUCKET_URL_BASE=https://s3.amazonaws.com/{BUCKET_NAME}/`
82-
83-
If you've configured your S3 bucket and DNS records to use a custom domain
84-
name, you can also set it using this variable. I.e.:
85-
86-
`S3_BUCKET_URL_BASE=https://files.mydomain.com`
87-
88-
For more information on using a custom domain, see this documentation link:
