Hi Bruno, There is no DSpace BitStore implementation for using Google Cloud Storage, but the next release of DSpace has refactored the asset store plumbing to allow for different implementations to be used. This advice might not be very helpful for a current DSpace 5 instance, but would be helpful for a development instance on DSpace 6, which adds under-the-hood improvements that would help you better make use of Google Cloud Storage.
The Interface for BitStore https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/storage/bitstore/BitStoreService.java Implementation to use AWS S3 storage. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/storage/bitstore/S3BitStoreService.java If you are interested in adding Google Cloud Storage support just implement a GoogleCloudStorageBitStoreService class and implement a few methods: init, get, put, about, remove. Once you create a GCS implementation, then you can wire it in with some spring bean xml. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/spring/api/bitstore.xml We allow for a hybrid storage approach. Wire localStore to store#0, the localStore would be seen as "local storage" even though you will be mounting some remote NAS storage. Then wire the GCSStore to store#1, and make that the incoming. Old assets on the NAS, new assets on GCS. ________________ Peter Dietz Longsight www.longsight.com [email protected] p: 740-599-5005 x809 On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 8:57 AM, Bruno Cabral <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Monika, > > Thank you! > > The idea is not having the databases inside the docker images. > > But is it possible to have the digital objects on a local netowrk attached > storage while the dcoker is in Google Cloud, with dspace linking from the > cloud to our NAS? > > And a mixed solution, having part of the objects on our NAS and other on > Google Cloud Storage? > > Thanks and Regards, > > BC > > 2016-03-01 12:38 GMT-01:00 Monika Mevenkamp <[email protected]>: > >> I am not exactly sure either what the details are.
