🗄️ Extend Appwrite Storage with Google Cloud Storage Adapter

[christyjacob4]

💭 Introduction

Appwrite Storage lets you upload images, videos, or any kind of file and store it for later. This comes with support for encryption, compression, chunk upload, resumable upload, and much more! 💪 To learn more, check out our official Appwrite Storage docs.

Every file uploaded to Appwrite Storage needs to be stored somewhere, whether that is your server’s hard drive or cloud provider. To make this possible, Appwrite uses storage adapters that each implement simple methods such as read(), move(), delete(), etc...

Your task is to implement support for Google Cloud Storage in Appwrite and the Utopia PHP storage library. We have prepared detailed documentation on how to create Utopia PHP storage adapter, and how to use Utopia PHP adapter in Appwrite. Please read these documents and ensure you understand it before working on this issue.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience with Appwrite.
• Experience with PHP.
• Experience with Google Cloud Storage.
• Experience with Docker and Docker Compose.

✅ Task Summary

• Ask to be assigned to the issue.
• Wait to be assigned.
• Implement Utopia PHP storage adapter for Google Cloud Storage.
• Submit a pull request in utopia-php/storage.
• Implement Appwrite support for Google Cloud Storage.
• Submit a pull request in appwrite/appwrite.

My 2 cents : google cloud storage is compatible with S3 API.
Wouldn't it be easier to just allow a custom endpoint url (eg: https://storage.googleapis.com) to the AWS library ?

See relevant code : https://github.com/utopia-php/storage/blob/main/src/Storage/Device/S3.php#L117
See option in Google Cloud Console : Cloud Storage > Settings > Interoperability

[eigengravy]

oh, i will look into that. thanks for the tip.

[pomarec]

Hi, if no one is working on it. I'm up for it. I'll implement S3 API of Google Storage.

[stnguyen90]

@pomarec, assigned! Thanks for your interest! 🙏🏼

[pomarec]

I've spend some time looking into it but can't make it work.
I'm not familiar enough with PHP and Curl.
My understanding is that changing only the url endpoint (see @eigengravy utopia-php/storage#64) does not workout. Google returns an http 400 error.

I leave the assignement as I wont be able to make it work.

I would like to work on this. Can you assign it to me?

[SiddharthJadhav99]

hey @Haimantika, just a quick update. I am able to implement read, write, listobjects, move within the adaptor. However, it is taking longer for me to implement the rest of functions cause of limited gcp storage client resources in php.

And also wanted to know, currently I am using Credential Json file path for authentication since authenticating via client Id or secret is not present. I hope it is fine. Let me know if you have any suggestions it would be really helpful :)

[christyjacob4]

@SiddharthJadhav99 you can proceed with the json file approach as it appears to be the recommended way to authenticate to use google services 👍

[Haimantika]

@SiddharthJadhav99 do you have an update? We will have to reassign the issue to the next person due to inactivity from your end.
