Migrating from Azure Blob storage to Google bucket

Hi. We have currently migrated Squidex from Azure to GCP. The only thing we need to migrate over is the assets.

This is currently hosted on Azure in a blob storage.

I see there is an option to host assets on GCP with the google bucket.
Do you have a step-by-step to use the Google Storage Bucket?

Current environment on GCP:
MongoDB hosted via Docker on a Ubuntu VM
Squidex hosted via docker on a Ubuntu VM

You have to configure it properly.

github.com

Squidex/squidex/blob/master/backend/src/Squidex/appsettings.json#L416


 * 
 * Supported: Folder (local folder), MongoDb (GridFS), GoogleCloud (hosted in Google Cloud only), AzureBlob, AmazonS3, FTP (not recommended).
 */
"type": "Folder",
"folder": {
  /*
   * The relative or absolute path to the folder to store the assets.
   */
  "path": "Assets"
},
"googleCloud": {
  /*
   * The name of the bucket in google cloud store.
   */
  "bucket": "squidex-assets"
},
"azureBlob": {
  /*
   * The name of the container in the Azure Blob Storage
   */
  "containerName": "squidex-assets",

You also have to create a user with the proper permissions and authorize the SDK: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/authorizing
