Use ImagField from Django to save image paths in different directory other than MEDIA_ROOT

I have created a Model that should only be accessed by the admin user and I would like to user the admin interface to manage theinstances I create. So basically this will be used to generate static.

One of the fields I would like to use is the ImageField that saves references to image in the MEDIA_ROOT. However, I would prefer to have those images references inside the STATIC_ROOT instead of MEDIA_ROOT in order not to have them mixed up with user generated data.

Is it possible to set this without hardcoding? Thanks in advance

You can do it by defining custom file storage:

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage

image_store = FileSystemStorage(location='/tmp/images')

class YourModel(models.Model):
      image = models.ImageField(storage=image_store)
