docker-loomio-gcs

This image aims to be the exact same image as the official one but we make the necessary changes to allow using GCS instead of S3 or Disk for active_storage files.

Needed env vars

• credentials.json: The credentials file in json format (in the root of the project /loomio/credentials.json)
• GCS_PROJECT: The project name (eg. my-project-12345)
• GCS_BUCKET: The bucket name (eg. loomio-files)
• ACTIVE_STORAGE_SERVICE: This is not a new env var, but needs to have the value google for this to work.

Migrating old files into GCS

This only requires uploading the files to GCS, there the directory structure is different, instead of /storage/ab/cd/abcde000000 we need /abcde000000.

We can do that with this simple script:

fd --type f | parallel gsutil cp {.} gs://loomio-uploads/

And the we need to update our blobs on the db, since they have stored which service was used to upload them in the column service_name.

That can be done running this on the db:

UPDATE active_storage_blobs SET service_name = 'google';
