Enabled googlecloud storage with django based websites.

Project:Django-Googlecloud-Storage

Google Cloud Storage file backend for Django

Based on an django-google-cloud-storage but now made simpler because it uses the python google-cloud package.

If you run your projects on Google's appengine and you are using the django framework you might need this file backend since there is no way to upload files, images, etc on appengine. The other solution is using django-storages and apache libcloud but that soon descended into a debugging rabbit hole.

Prerequisites

This version works with the google-cloud package from google. It is listed as a dependency.

Installation

pip install django-googlecloud-storage

Configuration

On your django settings.py file you need to add the following settings:

GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT = '<name-of-project>'
GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET = '<name-of-bucket>'
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'django.googlecloud.storage.GoogleCloudStorage'
MEDIA_URL = "https://storage.googleapis.com/<name-of-bucket>/"
