Call recording - external storage providers

[tbarbugli]

At the moment Stream Video allows you to store recorded calls on S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage. You can use this conversation to suggest storage options that are important for your application.

the external storage api is throwing an error: 500. here is my code example:

import { StreamClient } from "@stream-io/node-sdk";

const client = new StreamClient(streamApiKey, streamSecret);

const result = await client.video.createExternalStorage({
  bucket: "xxxx",
  name: "my-s3",
  storage_type: "s3",
  path: "/",
  aws_s3: {
    s3_region: "eu-north-1",
    s3_api_key: "xxx",
    s3_secret: "xxx",
  },
});

@flex-akin You can follow the documentation on how to retrieve the recordings here https://getstream.io/video/docs/api/recording/calls/. I don't use this API because our own goal is to have the link to the recording in storage stored in our database. So, I am using web hook to know when recording is ready and retrieve the data to be stored in our database.

@tbarbugli Can you help on how to make the recording use my S3 external storage. I already followed the documentation and I was able to add the storage successfully but recordings are still being stored in GetStream storage instead of the external storage I provided. Thank you

@Aanu1995 Me I opted for using the webhook so when the recording is ready I pull it to my own storage. I think this a very easy temporary workaround, which gets the job done

[Aanu1995]

Thank you. That was exactly what I did too

[tbarbugli]

this was resolved a while ago, please ping here if you still have issues with external storage

Can i use Digital Ocean Space or Cloudflare R2 as a storage?

[trmcnvn]

As these are both S3-API compatible, could the AWS S3 storage provider be expanded to customize the endpoint?

[joostvanhoof]

@tbarbugli I had the same question as @Phu96, I would like to use DigitalOcean Spaces as an external storage provider. As @trmcnvn indicated these are S3-API compatible. Any timeline you can share?

[tbarbugli]

thank you for the input, we are going to discuss adding this in Q1
