Carrierwave Google Storage

Use the official google-cloud gem by Google for Google Cloud Storage, instead of Fog.

• No need to activate Interoperable Access on your project.
• Rely on Google's preferred authentication mechanism. ie: Service Accounts.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'carrierwave-google-storage'

Rails Compatibility:

• Rails 4 and 5.

Usage

In config/initializers/carrierwave.rb add the following initialization code:

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.storage                             = :gcloud
  config.gcloud_bucket                       = 'your-bucket-name'
  config.gcloud_bucket_is_public             = true
  config.gcloud_authenticated_url_expiration = 600
  
  config.gcloud_attributes = {
    expires: 600
  }
  
  config.gcloud_credentials = {
    gcloud_project: 'gcp-project-name',
    gcloud_keyfile: 'path-to-gcp-keyfile.json'
  }
end

Then, in your Uploader classes:

class FileUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
   storage :gcloud
end

How to get the Keyfile?

To generate a new keyfile, perform the following steps:

• Go to Cloud Console > API Manager > Credentials
• Click Create Credentials > Service Account Key
• Service Account > New Service Account
• Give any name for "Service Account Name"
• Set Key type to JSON
• Click "Create"
